We
put together a total of 96 kits, 33 of each of the different projects. One
project was small patriotic hearts with two different patterns; the kit
contained enough to finish them both if desired, done on perforated paper.
Another project was a bookmark with the American eagle at the top completed on
perforated plastic, and the third kit was a patriotic ribbon stitched on
perforated paper. Each kit included all the necessary DMC floss, perforated
paper or plastic, a needle and scissors. In each kit we also noted that this was
provided by ASG, and we also received a thank you letter from the hospital for
the donation as well. We don’t know how far our charity will reach, but hope
that these kits will help those families to pass the time and create a nice gift
for a loved one.
I want to thank all the members who helped at the day meeting in October to separate and make all the floss bobbins for the kits, you can imagine, there was a lot of wrapping! Another thanks goes to Cindy Hambrick for her help with getting a pair of scissors for each kit and Caroline McCauley for her help with cutting all the perforated paper and plastic.
