Update

Thank you all for the helpful comments, questions, and general feedback we've received other the past few months. Some of you might have noticed that we didn't post a March newsletter...

Well, have no fear -- we are NOT calling it quits!


One of the biggest issues we've faced (outside of financial) is a lack of time to create patterns, make the projects, and sell them.... all in the same month -- It took us two months to sell half of the potholders from January. It's possible to do it all in a month but limits the size and creativity of new projects and if anything isn't done on time it backs everything else up. I've heard from many people that they'd like more time on projects and that having too many projects overlapping each month becomes confusing.

So what's to be expected now?

We're reformatting the outline for the newsletter and will be including more pictures of new and finished projects and even a few pictures of us in action at our meetings, updates on sales, and information on the organizations we are helping and how we're helping.

Also, the newsletters are going to be quarterly (4 times a year) with more projects to choose from. The next newsletter (The Summer Issue) will be out the begging of June.

While you're waiting for June's exciting new newsletter, please continue to work on potholders, bookmarks, hearts, chemo caps, squares, any other projects from our first two issues -- you can find them under our archive.

To give a quick update on sales: we've raised $25 from the potholders for the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen and $14 from the bookmarks for Read Between the Bars. Not a bad start for being completely volunteer and using donated materials.

Thank you, again, to all of you readers and volunteers, we're having a blast!
