Active Independence will be continuing to run our Quilting Group with Rotherham Project Linus Group during 2022.
The sessions will happen once a month every second Tuesdays 12pm – 2:30pm at Edward Dunn Memorial Hall, Maltby.
Ellen (from Project Linus – Rotherham and Doncaster) and Fiona (our Project Officer) will be providing pre-cut packs of different quilting designs and providing advice and support.
Each week we will get to try new designs and then the squares we make will be put together to create a quilt, which will then be donated to baby unit in local hospitals. This will be an ideal opportunity to to dust down your sewing machine or knitting needles and start a new project. Come along and learn a new skill, give something back to the community and have some fun and meet and with other people again.
All you need to do is bring along your sewing machine, and we will provide the fabrics.
If you don’t fancy sewing, you can bring your knitting and crochet needles and knit one. Help is on hand to teach your to knit.
These sessions are open to disabled people, carers and PAs.
Places are limited – please contact Fiona to book your place at fiona.m@activeindependence.org
