KS My Stitich July Charity Workshop

Hello! We had our charity workshop at Kaye Gruvers’ house and we all had fun edging fleece blankets for the babies of Reading, Kansas and Joplin, Missouri. Here are some of the pictures from the workshop.

I wanted to say a special THANK YOU to all that attended and also my sincere thank you to Linda Cooley’s daughter Sharon for providing us with 5 more soft little fleece blankets edged with beautiful crochet.
Happy Crocheting!
