September is National Sewing Month. In recognition, our local American Sewing Guild Chapter
http://phoenixasg.org/ arranged "Sit and Sew" days at locations across the valley. Saturday I participated in the charity sewing held at 35th Ave Sew & Vac http://www.35thavesewandvac.com/. The store owners kindly allowed us to use a nice, large room. Lynn had everything organized. She had kits already cut for walker bags, fidget quilts*, Christmas stockings, pillow cases and nappy quilts. About 16 of us brought our machines and slaved from 9-2:00pm! It was really fun, no pressure and lots of laughs. The snacks really helped us keep going & sewing. We made 56 items for our designated charities. Go to our website and look under community service for specifics. There are definitely perks when we meet in a fabric store....yeah, right! - none of us left without adding a few fabrics to our stash or notions collection!

*Pictured is a fidget quilt. These little lap quilts are made for individuals who have Alzheimer's disease. All the tactile additions to the quilts keep fidgety hands busy and happy.
