Vets Returning Home Blanket Making Party by Ann C.

Some of our TWA members joined the VRH committee and with the exceptional leadership of Kathi F. made seventeen (17) fleece blankets for the fellows at the VRH facility in Roseville.  These, added to the thirteen (13) Kathi and her sister made means we will be delivering a total of 30 blankets to the VRH home.  I cannot  tell you how much they will appreciate our efforts, particularly given the cold weather we have been experiencing this winter.  
Kathi showed us how to measure and cut the fabric on my dining room table.  The sewers were set up in the kitchen nook and family room.  Kathi, Mary Smith, and Sue Rehse not only brought their own sewing machines but were our expert seamstresses.  Roz, Marlene, Carole P, Ann T, Julie S and I filled in with cutting, pinning, and finishing as needed.  I think everyone had a good time and all were home before 10 am, tired but feeling satisfied I am sure.  
I big thanks to the VRH committee and all of the above TWA members who helped out that night.  I'll set up a Saturday in the next week or so to deliver the blankets - anyone who wants to join me is welcome to do so.
