[September 01, 2016]  ATLANTA - In June 2016, members and friends of the Atlanta Christian Church embarked on a mission to work with two orphanages in Guatemala.

Along with them, a second mission group of “Huggable Friends” accompanied them and were given out as gifts to the children residents at the orphanages.

The children greatly enjoyed the signature dolls that were an offering from the Atlanta Quilt Corner and the Atlanta Needlework Guild.

The quilters and stitchers look forward to continuing their work in partnership with the Atlanta church, creating items that can meet the needs of the orphanage’s children.

Dedicated to local and now international charity needs, the Quilt Corner and Needlework Guild appreciate any donations of fabric, fleece, jeans, yarn, sheets, blankets, bed skirts, and/or mattress pads, to repurpose into quilts,hats/scarves/mittens, and huggable friends. No donations too large or too small – all is used for charity. Contact: djscalaska@yahoo.com  or 217-960-6261 to make arrangements to deliver or for pickup of your donation.
