There were 11 of us this afternoon. It was great to see all the items we have made over the past few months. Thanks to everyone for sorting and packing up everything for donation.
For the 14 Sheriffs Youth Ranch graduates, we packed 14 duffels
with a twin size quilt, 2 pillowcases and 2 zipper bags each, for an estimated
value of $5,983. Tomorrow I will count
the draw string backpacks for the summer camp kids and will report the total
and value next week. These will all be
delivered on Friday.
For the Christian Care Center in Leesburg, we will be donating
25 quilts valued at $4,035 and 9 zipper bags valued at $66.
For Advent Watermans’ Hospital pediatric unit, we will be
donating 7 quilts valued at $609 and 30 pillowcases valued at $450.
We will be sending 52 pillowcases to Case for Smiles, valued
at $624. These get delivered to the
Sewing Studio at Lady Lake. The walker
bags for Helpertunity also go to the Sewing Studio, so I will count them tomorrow
and add them to this delivery.
This means that the total value of everything we sorted
today is $11.787. A Daily Sun reporter also visited us this afternoon to see
the work we are doing.
Amazing work ladies.
Show and Tell:
Louise Stem made 2 more pillowcases.
Mic Pickard showed a quilt and baby hat for her new
great-great granddaughter,
Pat Pipa made 4 boy themed drawstring backpacks.
Ceal Pedersen brought another bag full of critters with faces complete.
Ellen Hein and Eileen St. Clair showed 5 quilts that they
completed the binding on.
Eileen made this one and the next one.
We're not sure who made this one.
This one was partially made by a lady from Allamanda. I finished it.

I did not put any other fabric out today. We had enough going on to keep us busy all
afternoon. Next week we will be back to selecting fabric, making stuffed toys,
walker bags, quilts, pillowcases, etc. to give to those in need.
Hope to see you next week.
Lois
