Sew a Little Love!
October is Sew a Little Love Month and we need your help and hands!!The Sew a Little Love project is a nationwide project consisting of quilt blocks with fabric replicas of hands. Participants will trace their hand out of fabric and will sew the hand traced fabric on to another piece of fabric. When participants register to participate in the project, they will also be given the opportunity to leave a comment on the registration page which will then be transferred to a special QR code to be read by anyone with a smart phone once quilts are completed. At the end of this project, the Creativity Shell plans to have 100 quilts and 4800 participants. Each quilt is unique and will represent a certain topic, theme and/or group.
