Helping Sandy Hook
I grew up a couple towns from Newtown, CT, and worked in
Sandy Hook the last couple years before we moved to NH. I was so upset by the events last week that I
haven’t said anything much on Facebook.
But here are a couple ways we, as quilters, can do something positive
for the children, and the town. Thanks in advance for helping in any way you can.
Mary
Pillowcases for Sandy Hook
Quilter’s Corner in New Milford, CT (my hometown) is
collecting pillowcases for the approximately 600 elementary students in Sandy
Hook. Please send new, washed
pillowcases to:
Quilter’s
Corner
312 Danbury
Rd
New Milford
CT 06776
You can like QUILTER’S CORNER on Facebook to follow the
count.
Snowflakes for Sandy Hook
Connecticut PTSA
This organization has started the idea of “Snowflakes for
Sandy Hook.” They want the students to
enter a Winter Wonderland when they
come back to school at a new building.
Snowflakes can be the paper ones we all cut as kids. Or, for anyone with
an embroidery sewing machine, there are several websites with free snowflake
designs available. These should be
mailed to arrive by January 12, 2013 to:
Connecticut
PTSA
60 Connolly
Pkwy, Bldg 12, Ste 103
Hamden CT
06514
They are also accepting monetary donations on their website to help the
school community in Newtown.
Sarah Vedeler Designs
Sarah Vedeler is known for her beautiful, intricate designs
and these snowflakes are wonderful. They
are sewn on fabric and can be made one-sided or double-sided.
Embroidery Library
Embroidery Library is offering free-standing lace embroidery
designs in three sizes at no charge.
These are super simple to embroider, usually done in one color. If you’ve never tried free-standing lace
designs before this would be an easy one to do.
They have a free tutorial available if you need more instruction.
