Community Service Sew In: Tuesday 5/30/23 5:30pm - 9:00pm

 

All Nimble Thimbles members: We need your help!

This coming Tuesday, May 30 2023, the 5th Tuesday, we are planning a Community Service sew night to piece backings and bindings to pair up with any remaining kits. By working together we can eliminate excess fabric and kits. Our goal is to eliminate as many kits and backing fabric as we can to reduce the need for storage. 

You also are welcome to bring any kits you pick up prior to May 30 to stitch and pair with backings and bindings. We will be starting at 5:30pm and can sew until 9:00pm.

Our current CS quilts are given to:

Gathering Humanity, which helps refugees settle in the Phoenix area;

Pregnancy Crisis Center, which assists young moms through their pregnancies;

Moms and Babies Veterans Program, which gives new veteran moms and babies supplies including quilts;

Two Hospice organizations in the Valley: Infinity Hospice and Hospice of the Valley.

Please reply to Penny at pboese@cox.net saying what you will be bringing; we need sewing machines, cutting mats and rotary cutters/rulers. Hope to see you all next Tuesday!
