Staying Safe

Posted in Uncategorized | June 1st, 2020 | by sewforhope

Hello Dear Friends,

We hope you’re all staying safe and feeling great.

As the number of Covid-19 cases is still on the rise in Leon County and Tallahassee, Sew for HOPE  has decided to postpone group meetings at St Stephen Lutheran until further notice.  In the meantime, our volunteers have made (and are continuing to make) thousands of face masks for friends, hospitals, and shelters. When the going gets tough, quilters make masks. But we’re also continuing to make blankets and quilts in our sewing rooms at home. Why? Because we know that sewing is our superpower.

Thanks for all you do,

The Sew for Hope Sisters

Sew for HOPE will suspend its work meetings!

Posted in Work Day | March 16th, 2020 | by sewforhope

Due to the restrictions recommended to slow down the spread of the coronavirus, Sew for HOPE work meetings at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month are being suspended until further notice. We will send out an email when the CDC and Leon County health officials have deemed it safe to meet in groups again.

We expect that everyone will welcome more quilting time! Finally, a chance to finish those UFO’s!

December Work Day

Posted in Work Day | November 30th, 2019 | by sewforhope

Merry Christmas Dear Friends,

We’re having our last meeting of the year Saturday 12/7.

We’ll be at our new wonderful and spacious location. That’s at St. Stephen Lutheran Church, 2198 N. Meridian. As usual we’ll meet from 10 – 3 with brown bag lunch from 11:30 to 12:30.

Whether you’ve been with us for years or you’re stopping by for the first time, all are welcome. We need many helping hands to achieve our goals. We always have a variety of projects that need to be worked on; some are easy while others are challenging. We continue to be the grateful recipients of other stitcher’s unfinished quilts and quilt blocks. That’s why we always have so many projects that need to be finished.

All the blankets we make are donated to children who are homeless, impoverished, or in crisis.

Please see our website for more information.
