Houses

This is one of our newest quilt themes. There are many different patterns for houses and our members have chosen various ones to make a special quilt for a senior citizen in a care facility.

  3. Here is a little synopsis of what we do:
    We are a group of counted cross stitchers, quilters, and sewists from around the world that make lap quilts, therapy pillows, walker bags, tote bags, wheelchair bags, greeting cards and bookmarks to give to children in need and to the elderly in nursing homes.
    If you enjoy cross stitching, quilting or sewing, please join us for the opportunity to use your talents to bring cheer and comfort to children and adults at a stressful time in their lives. Stitchers can choose either aida, evenweaves or linen of any count size or color for the lap quilt squares and other items. The lap quilts are themed quilts, such as dogs or cats, flowers, sealife, teddy bears, etc. There are members in the group who enjoy finishing the bookmarks, cards, pillows, or totes if you aren't able to do so.

    You can join our group by going to the link below; take a look around and see if this would be a good stitching outlet for you. Members can unsubscribe at any time they wish.

    We have quilters who put the quilts together from the crossed stitched pieces made by members from all over the world.

    Thanks,
