The Sun Region Chapters
continue to participate in the creation of Habitat
Samplers for the new homes built around Florida.
With
the approach of summer, life slowed down for many of the guilds.
One
new project that several guilds in our region are doing is the "Kissing
Pillows". There is an article in the NeedleArts, March, 2007,
page 34. It was submitted by the Yellow Rose Chapter in Texas.
There will be another article in the June issue. The small pillows
are given to servicemen/women who will be leaving their families.
They give the pillow that they have kissed to their children/loved ones as
a symbol of their love or it can work the other way - the family kisses
the pillow and sends it with the soldier. Indian River Chapter and
Sand Hill Crane Chapter are both participating in this project.
Please contact me or the Yellow Rose Chapter, EGA, if you have an interest
in this project.
Several chapters are busy making Christmas ornaments and baby sets for area Hospitals and children's homes. Several new items being made are shrugs and lap robes for nursing homes.
This report may present new opportunities for your chapter based on what other chapters are doing at present. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding an outreach thought, idea or project.
