ORANGE ACRES BACKBREAKERS
2001 - 2002
Our community project this year for the sewing group is a quilt. The design of the quilt is called "Flying Geese" from "Quilt-in-a-day". First step in making a quilt is to press your fabric after washing. Then we needed 7 1/2" by 7 1/2" squares and 9" by 9" squares. The members spent a day over winter break cutting these squares out. It took many hours - we sustained our energy with a bountiful supply of cookies.
As a Community Service Project, the sewing members decorated a Christmas tree titled "Let it Sew, Let it Sew, Let it Sew". This tree was decorated by the members with sewing notions including needles, thread, tape measure, scissors, and many more useful sewing items. This was a really fun project! The tree was donated to the tree aucion at the "VERY SPECIAL ARTS CALIFORNIA GALLERY" in the Main Street Mall. The proceeds will benefit artists with special needs.
