They are very in need of patterns and fabric. I'm sure they would appreciate it very much if anyone here would like to clear out there stash by sending items to them! It is the Kateri Circle Sewing Group. :) [edited to add the link: http://www.friendsofpineridgereservation.org/organizations/Pine-Ridge-sewing-groups.shtml ~sarah]<br>Caelynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389215633235183626.post-12532269813224978072010-04-02T14:21:29.000-04:002010-04-02T14:21:29.000-04:00Hi, I just found out about this giveaway!

I just sent them 66 patterns - many of them vintage (1940s to 1960s). I have about 50 more to box up and ship. Please don't enter me in the pattern draw - I've put myself on a strict pattern reduction plan!

I know you bought more fabric and patterns, but I'm sure you bought things with specific purposes that will be used rather than just horded for the sake of it.
