I have 20 to 25 (fluctuates somewhat) students and usually have 12 or 13 attending every Monday morning from 9:00 to 11:00! We’ve donated over 900 hats to various hospitals, over 30 lapghans to various veterans hospitals, 85 hat/scarf sets to a local day care center, made a40 Spirit Gloves for our local Relay for Life group, and are now making prayer shawls for a local prayer shawl ministry. I highly recommend forming a crochet group!

Mrs. Twins on-line idea is brilliant!

I started an on line group ‘SIBOL’ back in January 2010, making Sunshine Blankets for the Elderly. We have now made over 150 Blankets, which have been delivered to Nursing Homes.
We have a SIBOL Group on RAV. We have lots of fun, topics and square swaps. Anyone wanting to join us please follow the link.

I really enjoy running our Group, it is hard work but we do try to be as creative as we can. We have just finished a beautiful Flower Blanket which is going to be sent up to the TV Studios hopefully they will show it on their ‘Emmerdale’ soap opera. We make Blankets for the Elderly but we also make Charity Blankets and we have recently received in over 300 Squares for special Blankets raising money for Alzheimers.

Squares come in from all over the World, we have some really talented Ladies across the World!
Join us!

I’ve been looking at some groups and location and regular meeting times are critical in gaining and keeping new members.
