I live in a Senior Citizen Apartment building. We have established an OLDIES SEW & SEW CLUB. Our ages range from 78 years to 96 years old. We have a membership of about 15 ladies.
Every Tuesday afternoon we meet for 2 hours and do our thing. Some crochet, some knit and some just come for the fun. We have one lady that tells stories of the Good Old Days.
A group of ladies, myself included, make quilts to donate to St. Vincent dePaul Thrift Store. I currently have some ready to deliver. Pictures follow:

How wonderful to donate all those pretty quilts to St. Vincent dePaul Thrift Store. It's a great way to get together doing the things one enjoys. Would you be from Marshfield, WI when I noticed where you had donated the quilts to. I originally lived in Colby, WI up until the fall of 2007.
