Ending Period Poverty

An update from Tricia Walker...

We held a successful class in a remote part of Ghana called Boateh to make sanitary kits. These women and girls will now be able to continue to make kits and more importantly teach others to do the same!





Thanks to everyone who supports Tricia in her efforts to end period poverty.  Learn how you can help by clicking the link below. 👇

Local Quilter Loses Everything

Marnae and Jim Fee of Farmhouse Country Quilting, located in Lindley, NY, sustained devastating loss last Tuesday when their home and longarm quilting business burned to the ground.  Thankfully they escaped without injury, but sadly they lost their dogs and cat along with all of their posessions.  We all got to know and love Marnae and Jim when they were guest speakers at our guild meeting last February. If you woul like to help, a Go Fund Me has been started for the Fee family.  Gift cards or donations can also be dropped off or mailed to:  Jim & Marnae Fee c/o Scheetz Sew Creative, 667 Roundtop Rd, Wellsboro,  PA 16901.
