I will be posting new pictures after Robert returns from the Haiti delivery so you can see the children and their new clothes.
We are now starting on our NEW PROJECT. And if you have made it to this blog you already know that we have dropped the "ile a vache" from our name and are now simply Sewing Hands. Business cards with our email, blog and facebook addresses have been made up. Please ask Sharon or Deborah if you would like one.
For the 2012-2013 year we will be helping the children in a small elementary school in the Appalachian region of Tennessee. The name of the school is Laurel Bloomery Elementary School. We will be making fleece blankets for Kindergarten, First and Second grade and quilts for Third - Sixth Grade. Please check out the details under the "Pages" section of this blog. Our delivery date is October 5th. Please get everything to Sharon by September 21st so we can label and package them. We have obtained some iron on labels that have a heart and say Handmade With Love by Sewing Hands. If you need Sharon's address please send her an email and she will respond to you directly. The email is handmadebysewinghands@gmail.com
As time allows I will be posting new pictures of completed blankets and quilts as well as new pictures of those who are helping us with the new project. Feel free to email pictures that you want included.
Happy Sewing,
Sharon and Deborah
