Ongoing Projects:

*Pillow Seat Protectors – the VA will accept as many of these as we can provide

*Burp Cloths, Bibs, & Stroller blanket & hat sets – local Catholic churches accept these for their Gabriel Project that has had a dramatic increase since the reversal of Roe vs Wade

Homeless Hats

*Red, White & Blue Hero Hats

*Patriotic, Juvenile, Baby & Adult quilts – our biggest need in the sewing portion of our charity is the actual quilting of our quilts. In an attempt to decrease the time & cost of quilt completion, we are planning to complete some of our juvenile & baby quilts using the turn & tie method. This is a time saver as well as a cost saver as we can use less expensive polyester batting we have available.
