Great place to find reasonably priced gifts, so I’ll just re-run last year’s article below. This is where I buy my $15 gifts for our Crystal Lake Kiwanis Christmas grab bag. I’ve even found items for $10.

The items are on sale after the 5 PM Saturday service and the ones at 8, 9:30 and 11 on Sunday morning.

This weekend the Scrappy Quilters of the United Methodist Women of the First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake will offer the results of their efforts after all four services.

For those of you who just want a chance to buy quilts priced from $15 to about $65, come to the church at the corner of West Crystal Lake and Dole Avenues 5:30 to 6ish Saturday night or from 9 to 12:30 on Sunday.

The quilts will be displayed on the second floor above the narthex outside the main sanctuary toward the back of the church.

Here are some from last year’s sale.

First take a look at some of the table runners:

Below are some square ones that could become wall hangings:

Finally, there’s the one that Mitten liked the best. It has jungle animals. It could be given to a baby.

The one below could be put on a natural wooden table:

An active part of United Methodist Women at the First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake are the ladies who make quilts.

They call themselves the Scrappy Quilters.

You missed the annual first weekend in December sale this year, but, next year, I’ll give you advance warning.

Priced from $15 to $65, the quilts are favorite gifts of my wife.

We even have one showing the three wise men approaching the manger hung on our wall at Christmas.

If I can get two more little ones, they will be grab bag gifts at annual Crystal Lake Kiwanis Christmas party December 17th. I’ll bet they will be among the ones “stolen” under the complex rules developed by Kiwanian Tina Hill.

The Scrappy Quilters are also willing to make quilts out of material you desire. We had them make a quilt for out son out of Lionel Train cloth.
