The Birmingham Quilt Guild volunteers at the YWCA in July for Christmas in July. It's a charity event where we donate our time and our sewing talents to make fleece headbands, jean purses, draft dodgers (rice filled draft stoppers for at the bottom of a door), and pillows. All our group does is the sewing and then another group volunteers to stuff, trim, and finish up the items. In December at Christmas time less fortunate youth are able to come in to pick out Christmas presents to give their friends and family. We were able to a total of 668 sewed items from 9:30am-2:30pm and several people took lots of items home to finish. We had a very fun and enjoyable day...and I got to meet lots of nice faces from the guild!!
