Church News
There has been an interest in making a 2nd
crochet/knit project. Several different ideas have been suggested which include
a prayer shawl, lap throw or another “quilt”. Sooooo, if you still have
leftover yarn and an “itch to stitch” keep those 6 inch squares coming.
Remember they can either be crocheted or knitted and can be any pattern you
choose as long as they measure as close to a 6 inch block as possible. We will
be collecting them through April 27. Thanks again! Sheryl and Pam
