Craft Group Projects

While Craft Group will not be meeting in August, we are participating in 2 on-going community service projects. For more info, contact Dolores R at 336-245-8406.

1) Quilts for Kids - A non-profit charity that helps comfort children in need with the gift of a crib-size patchwork quilt. This organization turns discontinued fabric into quilts for children suffering from life-threatening illnesses or abuse. QFK is looking for volunteers to sew the quilts with material that they provide!! You can either just quilt the top and they'll finish it, or make a complete quilt with backing and binding. This is a project that we can do as individuals.

2) Scarves of Hope - The goal of this program is to provide hand-made
scarves to individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer. Simply knit/crochet a unisex
scarf - any size, color or design, making it as wild and wooly as you like and deliver
it to one of the following locations:
Knit One, Smock Two, 4003 Country Club Road, WS
AC Moore Arts & Crafts, 3208 Silas Creek Parkway,WS
Knit Picky, 309 Harvey Street, WS
