Giving Myself Permission

My passion is sewing. Oh, how I love sewing!

Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes and projects get put on the back burner.

Case in point: I started creating some funky aprons last summer. I enjoyed the process, no pattern, no guidelines, no RULES. Simple create!

Today I am giving myself permission to -- CREATE

Project Impact

A group of women, men and children sewed, ironed, tied quilts, and prepared food for 3 full days for the Haitian children.

Each person brought their gifts and talents to the project. It was amazing to watch this group work together like a fine oiled machine. All were an important part in order for it to be such a success.

We made 70 diapers and 101 quilts
plus there were 8 completed quilts donated.
