My friends and I have an informal group, we love to make quilts and sew. We have decided to make our local domestic violence shelter our project. We make children and baby quilts, tote bags for the moms that can double as diaper bags. We also make little stuffed bears out of fleece, facial features are hand embroidered on. We also make burp cloths and bibs. A few rare time we hemmed and patched up some clothing. Last year, 3 days before Christmas a mom and her premie were discharged from the hospital via ambulance to he shelter. This broke our hearts but we knew this was her only option other than going back to her abuser. We contacted everyone we know and got donations of premie diapers, clothing for the baby and of course toys for 56 children in the shelter. Since then out group has grown and so has the generosity of the community.
