It was great to see more of our quilters show up yesterday! We will meet again on Saturday December 13th from 8-12. We have a couple of quilt deliveries planned for December, one will be to the AAMC NICU, the other will be to the Annapolis Lighthouse Shelter and possibly one of the women's crisis shelters in Annapolis. We have given away so many quilts in recent months, but still have plenty more to share the children who need them in our community.
We are working on another project for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center with 4th and 5th graders from AACS in Annapolis, and CCCS in Auburn, California. The Annapolis kids are sewing Christmas stockings from heavy fabrics that we can't use for quilts, writing letters and earning a few dollars doing chores to buy a gift card for the stockings. The Auburn kids have done an awesome job raising funds with bake sales to buy some needed items for the soldiers and are creating Christmas Cards to go with the stockings. The kids are also sewing a big quilt of an American Flag to hang in the halls of WRAMC. We are very excited to work together on this project and will post photos here of our finished stockings, gifts and cards before we deliver them in December.
We are in need of a sewing machine! If anyone has one they can donate we will put it to good use! Please contact claudinne@comcast.net if you can help.
