Wishlists, Patterns & Instructions

Do you like to knit, crochet, quilt, sew or shop?   If you do, we’d like to thank you in advance for helping us with our many projects and programs. 

How you can help…

Military Support

  • Cell Phones for Soldiers Wishlist (Chairman-Kaye)
    • To show our appreciation for the men & women who have sacrificed the day-to-day contact with their own families to serve in the armed forces.
  • Blankets of Gratitude Instructions (Chairman-Linda)
    • Knitted, crocheted or quilted blankets- to show our Veterans staying in Veterans Administration facilities across the United States during the holidays that we are grateful for their service.
  • Cool Scarf Instructions  (Chairman-Laura M)
    • Our Troops deployed in the Middle East, often face hot temperatures of 130 degrees and higher.  The Cool Scarf ties around their neck, giving them the feeling of a cool wet cloth on the back of their necks that lasts for many hours.
  • Sand Scarf Instructions  (Chairman-Laura M)
    • Sand scarves are used to protect our Troops from the elements of the deserts of the Middle East. They keep sand from nostrils and mouth, and when tucked into the shirt, prevent sand from getting inside clothing.
