Request List 29 March 2021

 

Good morning,

What a difference a few days makes…..Sunny weather replacing torrential rainfall.  Sending my best wishes to all those cleaning up after devastating rainfall and flood damage. Also warmest good wishes for complete and speedy recovery go to those amongst our AHQ volunteer family recovering from illness – there’s a few.

Now! Sewing! Quilts and laundry bag projects of a multitude of themes are offered today. I hope there’s something on the list that suits your stash or fancy. I can’t wait to assist you with details of the projects and thus knowing a parcel of heart-sewn quilt comfort or laundry bag usefulness will soon be on its way to a ADF member serving our beautiful country.  Don’t hesitate…Catherine and I are ready to receive your emails J

Have a great week and happy sewing.

Cheers for now,

Clarissa
