Hearts & Hands: Providing Warmth and Comfort for Local Hospitals and Shelters

Update Posted: 6/26/08

 

We've been collecting quilts for Project Linus and they are always appreciated. Whenever you feel you can spend some time creating a small quilt to donate to Project Linus, keep us in mind.  It is so satisfying to help Project Linus get much needed warmth and comfort to others in need at local hospitals and shelters, so please keep those quilts coming and thank you for your support in helping us help others in need.  If you're looking for opportunities to sew for Linus in the company of friends, our Open Classrooms are a perfect opportunity for you.  For more information about our work with Project Linus, please view our previous postings.  By the way, if you can't stop in the shop, you may purchase a Linus Kit online to donate to our volunteer sewers.

Other opportunities to help with a gift of warmth for those in need are available.  Click to read about New Beginnings, Quilts from the Heart, and Stone Soup.

PRIVATE LESSON?

Anytime a class piques your interest but you just can’t get away to attend on the scheduled days or times, please inquire with Chardel or Stacie about private instruction. Many instructors are happy to teach a class one-on-one or for a special group of your friends.  Have a personal mini-retreat for a special occasion or just because it's fun -  we will be glad to coordinate it for you.
