Many years before that, I tought craft at a womens refuge centre, teaching them to help themselves instead of just going without. , they are all very proud off their items they made.

I also like the cotton ones as thats what is used still in hospitals. But Doonas are my favoured because they are so light yet so warm.That is really good to teach the migrant women to sew. Just getting them together to laugh and share is good therapy. I realised hoe lonely it is to be one of them for my first year living in the USA..Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243590338763738059.post-65953734058107820922012-06-06T14:10:46.515+10:002012-06-06T14:10:46.515+10:00I'm sure teaching will be fun. :) Although I...I'm sure teaching will be fun. :) Although I was professing accounting, I was asked to teach a crochet class at one of the universities because the dean's secretary saw me wearing my sweaters each day when I came in to pick up my campus mail. I did it and we all had a blast. After about three years of teaching it, I had to stop because I just didn't have the time with other teaching, my business, and, most importantly, three children. I hope you share with us how the classes go. :)Lois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243590338763738059.post-65840049570339288372012-06-06T12:34:19.086+10:002012-06-06T12:34:19.086+10:00Oh that sounds like a lovely idea to teach some ba...Oh that sounds like a lovely idea to teach some basic sewing classes at the community center. Your quilt will be very warm with the pure wool blanket inside.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.com
