I just got off the phone with a shelter for abused woman and children here in Troy. I've decided to start making blankets, stuffed animals and pillows for kids at the shelter. When we lived in CO a friend and I got a quilting bee together for the same reason and it was fun for awhile, but then it became more work for me and less work for everyone else. Also there was a question about who was actually receiving the things we made. I had had enough and stopped after that.
I'm hoping to get another group together in our new neighborhood. I like the fact that our things will go to kids who really need it right down the street in our own community. I plan to make sure every kid receives a blanket, pillow, and a book at Christmas.
So if any of you ladies from GW want to come down and tear it up with a sewing machine I'll keep you posted on dates.
Sarah, trust me, you DO NOT want me to try to sew... I could however create cute little tags to put on your products if you'd like! Let me know!
