Items Needed!
Donations for Camp Boggy Creek - The
mission of this camp is to enrich the lives of children who
have chronic or life-threatening illness. Do you own
fabric that you wonder "What was I thinking!!!". What
to do with the left over scraps of material that clutter
your sewing room, or the snippets of left over yarn that you
might never think of using? Please donate to this
great cause. Bring these items to the January and
February meeting and give them to Elise Reif.
Crazy Quilt Collection - I am collecting
items to be used for crazy quilting; buttons, beads, lace,
trim, charms, floss, glitzy fabric and such! In other
words, whatever you want to get rid of! These items
will be used for the quilt show boutique and the Christmas
party. Please give thems items to Diane Holmes.
