A Bitter Sweet Finish

Mom and I recently counted the number of items Sewing Hands had made.  We couldn't believe it when we reached 1,000.  Dresses, shorts, pillowcases, blankets and quilts have all been handmade and given to those in need over the past 5 years.

We also were amazed at the locations Sewing Hands reached:

Louisiana
Florida
Cuba
Haiti
Bahamas
Michigan
Tennessee

We have been to orphanages, drug treatment centers, homeless shelters, battered women's shelters, and schools.

We have met some beautiful children and were brought to tears by their genuine appreciation for the small blanket we gave them.

We have met some wonderful women who labored for hours sewing, tying, and binding.

We have received generous donations from our "angels".

It has been a good 5 years but it is time to retire.....or at least slow down (I'm sure small projects will be done by both Mom and myself as different needs arise in our communities).

So to everyone who has helped us, donated to us and encouraged us - Thank you.  It has been a good 5 years.

Sincerely,

Sharon
