Our Wednesday fundraiser was a success! I was not able to attend, but the members of Needlecrafts for Charity raised over $90 to help with supplies for our "Days for Girls" project. To my members of Needlecrafts for Charity; a big thanks and hug to all!
The last weekend of October I will head to Portland. Oregon to purchase some leggings fabric for our next fundraiser in November. I always love visiting Portland! There are so many wonderful fabric and yarn shops. One of my favorite fabric shops is Bolt Fabric Boutique in the Alberta District. The shop owner is quite talented with her choice of fabrics for the store. I'll also visit Modern Domestic where I will attend a "sew and sip" event on Friday evening.
Next week I will not post since I'll be traveling. Check back the following week to read about my trip and purchases in Portland!

And Here We Go.....
Needlecrafts for Charity kicked into high gear this week! We met on Monday afternoon and Thursday evening (which included pizza, brownies, and sodas). Between 6 and 8 students showed up for both sew-a-thons. I'm so amazed by the dedication of these college students to help others in need. This last week was also mid-terms for UPS students, so a big thanks to all the helpers in the middle of rigorous studying :)
As you'll see in the pictures below, we worked on stuffed animals and fabric coffee sleeves. I went a little overboard with amount of coffee sleeves fabrics, but they're so cute and practical, I know they'll be a big hit. Our fundraiser will take place on Wednesday, October 19, from 1:00-2:30. If you'd like to make a donation, please just email me at www.thegreenerneedle@gmail.com
The last picture shows the Days for Girls pads that we are raising the money for. We hope to make 200 of these before the end of this semester.

Fundraiser Planned
I'm almost at the end of my house sitting gig for my daughter and her husband. The rain has set in for the Pacific Northwest; we will see few days of sunshine until next summer :( Good thing is, it's great weather for sewing and knitting!
We had another fun club meeting last Monday. We have our first fundraising event planned for Wednesday, October 19. Our club will sell stuffed animals, jewelry, baked goods, and coffee sleeves to raise money for our "Days for Girls" project. Kim demonstrated how to make a pair of spandex shorts. These will be on display at the fundraiser to advertise for our next fundraiser (November 5) that will be a leggings and hot pants "make and take" event. Please see picture below.
I just had to include another picture of Kim happily ironing. Doesn't it look like a scene from the 1950's? Minus the serger and leggings, of course.
More next week......
