 If a weekly meeting is not your thing but you would like to help
in sewing quilts, dolls, and/or totes, perhaps knitting or
crocheting, hats, scarves, and/or mittens, for our 2017 charity
projects, we have kits available for you to checkout at our project
library. All materials, pattern, and other supplies are included in
the kit. Just check one out. When you have finished it, return it to
the meeting room for us to add to our count for accomplishing our
charity goals.
Kits available starting January 30, 2017, during any Needlework or
Quilting meeting at the Atlanta Manor or by calling Donna Campbell
