What should
you do with Girl Scout T-shirts?
Make a T-shirt quilt
Jennifer Worthy
who is now a junior at Stephen F. Austin University, is
still a registered Girl Scout. As a Girl Scout for 12 years, she attended
many camps, participated in Cookie Sales, and served as a program aide
at summer camp. The quilt serves as a remembrance of her Girl Scout days.
T-shirt quilt
instructions
Prewash all T-shirts. Don't
use fabric softener on them.
Materials
100 percent cotton fabric for the sashing and backing; fusible
interfacing needs to be non-woven, glued only on one side, and should
not be paper-backed; and clear plastic template cut to the desired size
of T-shirt panels.
Directions
Place the clear plastic template on the T-shirt over the panel
and make a rough cut around the template. Cut a piece of fusible interfacing
the same size.
Turn the T-shirt
over so the panel is facing the table and place the interfacing on the
T-shirt.
Next, place a
damp cloth over the interfacing and iron according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Place the T-shirt
on a rotary mat and trim to desired size of T-shirt block adding 1/2-inch
for seam allowances. q Repeat the above steps for all T-shirts, then lay
out design.
The sashing that
goes in between the T-shirt blocks measures 12 1/2" x 2". The
cornerstones are two-inch squares. Attach these to the quilt.

Save the
date for 2004 Resident Camp Open House
by Nicole McInnes
Is your daughter ready
for a week of awesome summer camp fun? Do you have questions about
meals, daily activities, and what exactly do campers do at camp?
Do you want to see the GSSJC facilities that will accommodate your
daughter during her stay? If you have been asking yourself questions
like this, then Resident Camp Open House Day may be for you!
Open House will be
from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 7. Parents, future and returning
campers, and their families are invited to tour Girl Scouts of San
Jacinto Council's three resident camps: Camp Agnes Arnold, Camp
Casa Mare, and Camp Misty Meadows. Guests will be able to view the
camp facilities, living accommodations, and ask questions to the
camp staff.
Each camp offers varied
and exciting sessions every summer, so come and see which camp is
best suited for your child. A parent or guardian must accompany
each child who attends Open House. No registration is necessary,
but there will be a sign in sheet on the day. Girls do not need
to be placed at camp to attend Open House. Visitors may picnic in
designated areas of the camp on this date only. Remember to dress
casual, wear comfortable closed-toe shoes (at Camp Agnes Arnold
and Camp Misty Meadows only) and bring weather appropriate clothing.
PLEASE LEAVE ALL PETS AT HOME.
Those who cannot attend
the day or have further questions should contact Program Manager
Nicole McInnes at 713-292-0353, or nmcinnes@sjgs.org.
The resident camp catalog
will be mailed mid-January 2004 to girls, and camping information
will be available on the Council's Web site, www.gssjc.org.
Remember to sign up early online or by completing the registration
form in the catalog!
