Community Service and Fifth Thursday Sewing for 2024
We had a great time at our final 5th Thursday sew.
We made 66 placemats. Great job!! This brings a total so far to 107 placemats. Our goal is 250 placemats to be able to donate to Meals of Wheels. If everyone would make (3) more by our December meeting, we can make the goal? Bonnie will be taking the mats to Meals on Wheels on the 13th.
This was our last 5th Thursday sew for the year. We will start back in the new year.
