What a great day at Sew With Us yesterday! We had 13 people join us to sew, welcomed a new person to our group, and were happy to see one of our newest sewers return to work on her quilt.

We also heard from Kathy all about Little Pink Houses of Hope while many of us worked on special quilts for them.

Our next Sew With Us! session is on July 27th. Please sign up soon if you plan to attend! You can sign up on our website at connectingwiththreads.org

Enjoy our weekly update!

Hi Everyone,

Our latest donations to Meals on Wheels Durham! Thank you to all of our members who created these beautiful quilts!

I have found youth sewing classes to run about $25+ an hour. This is unaffordable for so many families. I am proud to be a part of this group that volunteers to provide these lessons - including supplies - at no cost to families.

By partnering with community organizations, we can also provide equipment and materials at no cost -- while teaching youth valuable skills - not only sewing skills but life skills such as perseverance, patience, and positivity.

We had a great time at Book Harvest yesterday making quilt squares to match a book! We worked with nine students who are a part of a book Harvest book club to help them make squares for a special quilt that reminds us of Charlotte's Web!

The book and the quilt will be given to children who are experiencing hospice care in the Durham area. We are so excited about our latest project!
