Incorporating quilting into the various 6th grade classes in one school has resulted in the students actually producing quilts for needy babies. This started out as a project for AIDs babies, but now has grown to involve any needy babies in hospitals in the area.

Noreen is from Canada and […]
What a fascinating idea….creating a yo-yo “memory” vest, consisting of these little shirred circles from fabrics given by friends and family. Noreen at Hankering for Yarn shares her love of yo-yo’s, dating back to her grandmother’s friend, and shows us pictures of the “memory” vest.
Yo-yo’s have a place in my life, too. I made exquisite bits of fabric art with […]
