The Gift of Giving

Our January general meeting was a success, thank you all!

Here is a picture of Cathy Swensen, president of CTA - Clothing Textile Advisers. Cathy talked about the importance of volunteering to help communities and to keep alive needle arts in general.

Bellow is Susan Parr, a Needle Arts Guild charter member and also director of "Washington State Make it with Wool". Here are some members working on fleece hats and scarves, that are going to be donated to a church in Puyallup, that has a program called "Friday Freeze" where they take the less fortunate people in and give them a place to spend the night.

And last but not least, a picture of some completed hats and scarves.
