Looking for a fun sewing project and A way to give to others?

HELP Adult Services: a Presbyterian community outreach is seeking help to provide all persons who are nominated for Caregiver of the Year with a lap quilt (42" x 42") at our annual Caregiver of the Year event.

 

What is needed:

-    Your time

-    Your sewing talent

-    Material (any design you wish)

-    A quilt design (again, you choose the design), Size 42" x 42"

-    A desire to show someone that they are appreciated for  being a caregiver

 

One person is chosen for the Caregiver of the Year, but it is our intent to make the evening special for all nominated caregivers. They will receive a free evening for themselves and their family with music and entertainment. Then, at the end of the evening, we wish to present them with a homemade lap quilt to show them that the community recognizes their contributions they make every day.

 

Please consider giving the gifts of your time and sewing talent. We need all lap quilts completed by November 2012.
