Holy Trinity Christmas Shoe Box collection

At our meeting on 5th October, one of our members gave information about the shoe box collection that the Holy Trinity Church are organising.  Basically handmade items are donated (such as gloves, bags, hats) and then the items are put into shoe boxes and shipped to deserving communities in the world.

If you would like to sew a 'hair scrunchie' or make a pineapple hat from fleece, then please see the attached instructions.  All made items can be donated at the Church or at our next meeting on 7th November.

Project Linus

Thanks to Liz from Project Linus for an interesting talk about the great work that Project Linus are doing in our area, as well as nationally and internationally, such a great charity to support. 

Quilters of Sutton will be making a group quilt in 2014 to donate to Project Linus so watch this space for further information.

One of the quilts on display was a T shirt quilt for teenagers.  This is a pattern that has been reproduced specifically for Project Linus with the kind permission of Mary Mashuta.
