Alzheimer's Touch Quilts
Work
Bee for Touch Quilts for Alzheimer’s will now be held on the third
Friday of each month. (From
around 10:00 to 3:00). This is a joint project between
Life’s
A Stitch and
Stitches
From the Heart Quilt Guild.
However, anyone is welcome to come and help.
Thank you to everyone for the many donations we have received to
date and to all the people who have come and worked on the quilts.
We do not require any more fabric donations at this time (other
than bigger pieces that we can use for backing) as we have plenty to
keep us busy for a while. If
you can’t come to our work bee but would like to participate, we have
kits made up that you may take home and complete.
We have received several thank you letters from the Alzheimer’s
Society and they really appreciate the quilts.
Pet Beds for The Humane Society
We save our soft fabric scraps to make pet beds for The Humane Society.
If you would like to help, please bring your soft fabric scraps
to the store (Sewing Scraps only – no old clothes please).
Make sure there aren’t any pins or other non-fabric items in with
them). You can also make the
beds yourself (that would be great!)
- Just stuff an old pillow case with your sewing scraps and sew
the end closed. If you don’t
have old pillowcases you can make a similar sized bag (or even smaller)
instead. You can drop
them off at the Humane Society on Second Line or at the store and we
will drop them off for you.
The Humane Society will also take donations of old blankets, towels,
etc. that can be used for the animals.
Recycling
We
collect empty thread spools and make them available to anyone who wants
them so feel free to drop some off or pick some up.
