I'll be watching this thread for advice myself. I started a group thru the church that initially started out as quilters , but all we could do was piece. It was too expensive to send out to have quilted, so we moved towards projects that were more sewing-based. Things like baby sets of burp pads, bibs and receiving blankets. Those were donated to hospitals and a women's shelter. We've done several tie-blankets. lap to twin quilts when members are seriously ill. Book marks for the sanctuary. Christmas stockings for all the kids at church as well as 2-3 nursing homes and others churches. The stockings have become an annual tradition and are lots of fun. We're currently working on fidget mats for Alzheimer patients. Our biggest challenge is getting people to help. Out of a congregation averaging 80 weekly attendance we are a group of only 4. Any ideas on ways to get more sewists??
