Knit PH at Prospect Perk: Afghans for Afghans Sewing Party
We have just one more quilt to sew up and are looking for a few volunteers for Tuesday, May 12. Please e-mail me if you can lend a hand. In addition, we are going to keep A4A as an on going project. It's as simple as knitting or crocheting an 8" square and dropping it off at any of our MeetUps. You can use your own pattern or download these FREE instructions:
