Our Nifty Needles SYNC Group continues make a difference in our community through sewing and quilting projects. Our recent gatherings in March and April brought together dedicated volunteers who poured their hearts into creating quilts, blankets, nursing pads, and more for those in need.
March Meeting: Breaking Records with Heartfelt Giving
In March, the group surpassed all expectations by producing an incredible 66 quilts and blankets, alongside over 100 nursing pads for St. Mary’s NICU. With more than 300 yards of fabric generously donated, the energy and commitment were palpable. Volunteers signed thank-you cards for two groups supporting this effort.
Distribution plans:
- Real Choices received 21 quilts
- Veterans Alliance was gifted 5 quilts

This meeting was not just about crafting; it was about giving hope and warmth to families and individuals facing challenging times.
