Working session for members of the AWCH QuiltMakers.  We make Baby Quilts from upcycled materials provided by Hanseatic Help.  The quilts are given to new parents in need, along with 67 other things they need for the baby’s first year, in a “Hello Baby” bag.  These are the same Hello Baby bags the AWCH supports through the FAWCO Development grant our club just won.

To join our group, first please contact Andrea M (see contact info below) or via What’s App - we are in the AWCH What’s App Community.  You can learn to sew and quilt as part of this group - you do not need experience, just the desire and motivation to use crafting as a tool for good in the world. (We also have fun and laugh a ton.)

We generally have three bees each month - two weekdays and one weekend day.  You can come to as many or few as you wish, or even work entirely at home. The time listed is like an Open House.  You are not expected to stay the whole time, but you could.

If you have a sewing machine and can bring it, please do.  There are also four machines available you can learn/work on.  All materials are provided.  Bring your favorite little scissors to snip threads and a little something yummy to share.
