A friend of mine used to belong to the "Needlework Nellie Belles". It had a ring to it. They just took all kinds of needle work and did a few things for charities. They met at an old community building that many had talked about tearing down. They made an agreement with the small town council to be able to use it for free as long as it wasn't booked for another event. They would keep the place maintained. It was about the size of a 4 car garage. One roofer donated extra roofing squares and did a sewing machine and needle design on it encircled with a heart. Had a kitchen and bath donated by one of the gals plumber husband. Everything was donated. The gals made curtains. It was cute. Electric baseboard heat kept the place warm and some had space heaters. It was used for many family gatherings and some other celebrations which helped with cost. They never allowed smoking but because of it's location a brushfire took it down. They chosenot to rebuild since the original members were in their 60s and the younger ones were moving out of town. great while it lasted.
