Each fortnight on a Wednesday afternoon,a group of ladies gather in a meeting room in Chermside Library, for an afternoon of crafting, chit chat and sharing of projects. This group is Sisters of Stitch and people bring in whatever craft project that they wish, so there is a lot of variety; crocheting, knitting, patchwork, hand quilting, embroidery, smocking, hand sewing/finishing of dressmaking projects, tapestry, tatting, drawn thread work are just some the projects that can be seen at SoS! And many of these ladies often hand over donations for me to pass on to K4BN.
One Wednesday recently I received a large bag of items from Margaret...
Some children's tote bags...
Several pairs of children's shorts in lovely bright fabrics...
Some cute little girl's outfits...
A closer look at that one on the left...
And lots of little dresses!
Some dresses for older girls...
And some little pouches that can be used in a number of ways...
These lovely items from Margaret will be much appreciated by the recipients.
In the cooler months over the last few years, another lady at SoS, regularly hands me a bulging plastic bag.
Glenda makes crocheted squares for K4BN...and I join the squares into rugs...we're a good team! :-)
So on the same afternoon that I received the donations from Margaret, Glenda gave me a bag of squares; which became this blanket.
And just this last Wednesday, Glenda gave me another bag of squares!
Thank you to both Margaret and Glenda!
What lovely items. I especially love the blanket you made from the squares. I admire anyone who can sew squares together so well.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, I have been lax in blog following recently, so its lovely to catch up here and see what you are up to. The donation of goodies is lovely. At the charity shop where I work in Hebden Bridge, we have a volunteer who uses all sorts of scraps to make gorgeous bags, which have become great sellers....all from fabric that would otherwise just be thrown away. I hope all is well with you, I shall have to do some catching up on your recent posts to check up on your news. Jxxxx
ReplyDeleteGosh they're such lovely items for the childdren. Great bags with beaut colours and very pretty dresses. The little pouches would be prized as well.
ReplyDeleteWell done to all three of you :D)
Two generous ladies. xx
ReplyDeleteYou have really been busy. I love all the little dresses and I'm wondering who the lucky little girls are. It's wonderful people give you fabric and then you turn it into such pretty things.
