WHAT'S ON YOUR HOOKS AND NEEDLES THIS JUNE
Turquoise, the COM was abundant in this this month's discussion.

It is winter in South Africa and our blankets are providing warmth to the children in these cold temperatures.

JULY THEME - CHRISTMAS
We will be observing Christmas in July as our theme will focus on Christmas so all of our project may reach South Africa in time for any Christmas Distributions in December. Let's create items that remind all of us of the holiday.
