My Project

I am the sponsor of a yarn arts club at a Title One school. We have already learned crochet and macramé, now we would like to tackle embroidery! These precious kits contain all the materials that my girls will need to learn to embroider and have a keepsake to hang on their wall. The light in their eyes as they accomplish new skills is a dream to behold. Help me make these beautiful girls (and boys, hopefully) learn to embroider and make a treasure for their wall at home! Thanks!
