Christmas Quilt to support Sewing Hands

This beautiful Christmas quilt was made by Sewing Hands to raise funds for the 2014 projects.  It is approximately 60 x 80 and is full of applique, 3 dimensional items, buttons etc.  It would be a lovely display quilt hung from a curtain rod, over a staircase or on a bed.  A perfect way to make your home bright and cheery for the Christmas season as well as support a wonderful charity.  It was shown at a craft fair for $400 but has now been marked down to $250.  If you would like this gorgeous quilt please contact Sewing Hands at handmadebysewinghands@gmail.com.

Fund Raising Event in November

Deborah and Sharon have been very busy this summer getting items ready for the Alternative Gift Fair this November.  You have already seen a picture of the dolls and matching pillowcases that I'm sure many little girls are just going to love.  But we have also finished many sets of Christmas placemats with matching Christmas tree napkins.  Won't these make the holiday table beautiful?

2014 Project

Our first 2014 project is already off to a good start.  We will be giving 6 fleece blankets, 6 quilts and 6 women's devotional books to a women's shelter in Clinton, Tennessee.  A huge big THANK YOU to Aliza, our sewing hand in Indiana.  She sent in five blankets and we now have the fleece blanket part of the project completed!

Thank you from Laurel Bloomery

We received a wonderful picture of the kindergarten class from Laurel Elementary school showing off their blankets.

 

The children sent pictures of their blankets that they drew and colored.  They all signed their names to a thank you letter their teacher wrote.  But what was most touching was a note from one of the little boys grandmother to the kindergarten teacher.  She wrote:

"We want to thank Sewing Hands for the blanket they gave Michael.  I cried when he came home.  He looked up at me and said now Nanny I won't get cold this winter will I?  That put tears in my eyes.  So thank Sewing Hands for us and Michael loves it."


Mom and I want to thank all of you who sew for us and who support us through donations and prayers.  Many of you do not get to see the joy on the faces of the people who receive our items but I'm hoping that the above note tells you just how much of a difference you are making.


Happy Sewing,
Sharon and Deborah
