this year our quilting group made mittens for the needy and social services organizations that can distribute them. Our small town is having a tree festival and of course we decorated the tree with our mittens. Now we are looking for a new project for next year. We need a year to work on it because of other commitments. Does any one have suggestions on a sewing Charity project. We have done baby quilts. so looking for something different.
