Thank You!

January 22 featured a Community Sew for Breast Cancer Pillows. Forty pillows were finished! Thanks to all who attended this activity.

Thank You!

We made several wraps for our; "Wrapped in Love", Community Sew. Seven wraps were completed. We have fabric for two dozen more. We'll be planning a follow-up at the Christ Episcopal Church. We'll post more details soon.

All Wrapped Up In Love is a local effort by Rosalind Beck, The Digitizing Diva, to make warm and cuddly wraps for those in chemo treatment centers and hospitals. These wraps have easy arm holes to allow IV's and for nursing staff to access the arm of each patient. Made out of cuddly fleece, these wraps are made for Women, Men and Children. Fashion prints, cheery and sports themed prints are all used.

Thank You!

Thank You for the tremendous amount of support provided to the tornado victims. All of the supplies have been delivered to the Congregational Church in Brimfield for distribution. The church continues to help Brinfield residents with the second round of the clean up from the devistating storm damage.

The Bethwalay Water Project

Behwalay is a village in Eastern Liberia on the border with Côte d'Ivoire.  Over the years it has suffered the effects of civil war and crushing poverty.  Its 550 residents are struggling to overcome this history and are working to rebuild their community.  They have built a clinic and are building a well that will serve the clinic and a nearby school. Seventy five percent of the money has been raised and construction will start on the well this summer.

Anti-Ouch Pouch by Deon Maas

The Anti-Ouch Pouch is a pillow that hangs from the shoulder, fitting snugly under the arm to cushion the area after breast surgery or during radiation treatment. surgery. The wedge shape gently holds the arm away from the body when the user is standing. The strap holds the pillow in place without having to use sore arm muscles to “clutch” it. The strap is adjustable and the fiberfill may be adjusted via the overlapped opening.

We are a drop off point for quilts and crochet goods for Project Linus.
