The Sew Time Angels of Holy Family Catholic Church in
Davidsonville, in conjunction with Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow in Edgewater,
will hold their sixth annual Lenten Sewing Challenge from Feb. 14 through March
29.
The
40-day challenge is to complete, as a group, baby hats/blankets and walker
totes. Some of the angels have already started working on these items. They
hope to beat last year’s total of 261 baby hats and 72 blankets, and the 2016
challenge’s 35 walker totes completed.
The baby
hats can be crocheted or knitted and the baby blankets can be sewn, crocheted
or knitted any size, but no bigger than 36-inch-by-36-inch. These items will be
given to Anne Arundel Medical Center and
Birthright.
The
walker totes are given to the community and shipped to friends and love ones.
The angels have lots of fabric, so help them use up their stock before you
attack your “stash.” They will have extra patterns available at the next
meeting Feb. 20 at Holy Family for your home sewing convenience, or they can
email them to you.
If you want to assist with
the challenge (you don’t need to be a member of the Sew Time Angels) and need
patterns/materials, contact Barbara Harmel at barbara.harmel@gmail.com or Pam
Hines at hinesjp@verizon.net.
