The Quilted Hug Project – Warm Shawls for Adults

Although this is presented as a quilting project, it is an easy straightforward straight stitched triangle with added pockets and a Velcro closure.

Excerpt from Facebook: We are hoping to inspire quilters and create a movement where every person in a nursing home is wrapped in a bright cheerful shawl – beautiful image isn’t it! Or going through chemo or other time of need where a warm hug can bring them comfort. Please join us in our Quilted Hug Project.

A 2018 National Sister Chapter Effort: —Helping Soldiers With Stockings — https://asgatlanta.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/2018-ASG-National-Conf-project-1.pdf

The Las Vegas ASG “Charity Sew” in 2018 is to make stockings for our deployed military troops who will not be home to share the holidays with family and friends. They work in conjunction with the Henderson & Boulder City, Nevada, Blue Star Mothers who arrange the donations to fill the stockings. The Blue Star Mothers was founded in 1942 as part of a movement to provide packages to our military serving overseas. They also provide assistance to family members who encounter hardships as a result of their son, daughter, wife or husband serving in the war.

If you would like to donate stockings to the Las Vegas Conference Community Service Project, please send them to:

Lois Campbell __1733 Warrington Drive__Henderson, NV 89052

More projects will be announced as the year goes along
