Bowl Cozies, Freebie Table & Reusable Grocery Bags

 Thanks to everyone who came for the "Sew One" and "Share One" parts of the Bowl Cozies. We are excited to be able to drop off your generous donations of time and talent to Meals For Wheels. Look at these happy sewists!

Our next meeting is on March 16, when we will be doing a final tally and reveal of the Bowl Cozies and working on some of our regular projects.

NEW We are hosting a FREEBIE table. Bring your sewing-related excess and drop it off on table. Rummage through it all and take whatever tickles your fancy...all, part, or none. Left overs will be donated. 

Please join us on March 30 for "Sew One" and on April 13 for "Share One"  Reusable Shopping Bags. Two local food pantries will be the recipients of this fun sewing project. NOTE: Precutting MUST be done before class, as there will not be class time available for cutting. RSVP by 3/27 to receive precutting instructions.

QOV Pillowcases & Quilt Top Update

It was an exciting kick off to our new "Sew One; Share One" 2023 theme for Busy Hands for All. This year projects are in two parts. Part one is bring your supplies, learn a new project and keep it for yourself! Part two, is at the next meeting, use our supplies, repeat the project and donate it to a local charity! Homework kits are available.

 "Sew One" pillowcases happiness!

Thank you to everyone who sewed pillowcases in the part two "Share One"  for Quilts of Valor! The local Quilts of Valor chapter were very excited and grateful to receive 95 beautifully sewn pillowcases from our group! They loved the different fabric choices and were very pleased with the sewing. The pillowcases will be used as presentation cases for the quilts. A presentation case is like a gift wrapping for a Quilt of Valor. Presentation cases are always required for QOVs going to overseas destinations and to the medical facilities on their Continuing Destinations List. They are also used for local QOV. Great job Busy Hands!!! 

Camp David has enough quilts for two seasons now! Camp David is a summer camp in June and July each year for children who have a parent in prison. The quilts are used by ids during their camp stay, serving as a blanket of love for the children. when camp is over, they take the quilts home with them as a reminder of their experience. Way to go Busy Hands for wrapping kids in your quilts and love!

We will continue to make quilt tops for Our Ladies Inn - keep sewing and wrapping other in quilts and love!
