On Saturday, I was invited to come help a granddaughter of a quilt guild friend finish up her Gold Award in Girl Scouts.
This isn't me but it could be!
Since I was a Girl Scout (back in the day) but only through elementary school, I thought it would be a fun way to help her out! I knew Saturday was to be busy but this was just in the morning.
Ashley had sewed 100 pillows that will be donated to the local cancer center. The pillows are used to give the patients a soft place to rest their arm during chemo. Part of her project is to include leadership and so she corralled a bunch of quilter’s (friends of her grandma!) to help out with the hand sewing.
Ashley mailed out a flyer with all the specifics and even included a little extra page in my envelope with directions specific to my town. 🙂
Soon after we all arrived at 9:30 a.m., Ashley, her mom, her sister, and Grandma began stuffing pillows. As they finished, the younger sisters brought the pillows to our sewing tables.
Four were at this card table where I worked
And 2 others and the grandma were at the kitchen table.
We finished them ALL before the 12 noon end time. Yeah!! I was surprised and the mom was extra thankful! 🙂 In fact, I was on the way home by 11:30 after enjoying some time visiting together.
And now you know some of my quilt guild friends! 🙂
and sew on... 
May you be blessed for your hard work! I can tell you that those pillows will be a blessing to the people who receive them. I still have the two pillows that I was given after my bi-lateral mastectomy. They were SO APPRECIATED, and it makes me tear up whenever I see or think about them. Bless you!
What a great project for Ashley–good leadership skills–and fun for you all, it seems (or should I say, seams)!
