Change is good. Holy Needles has experienced vast growth recently, and everyone is focused on creating items to donate to those in need. Holy Needles' founder moved last year and left the group in the hands of a committee of wonderful woman, who have been doing a fabulous job, keeping Holy Needles in action.
Holy Needles is in the process of updating this blog. Meanwhile, enjoy the many patterns and tidbits of helpful information that are within this blog, and look forward to growth in the near future.
Holy Needles was formed in March 2009. We crochet, knit, sew, and quilt matching beanies, booties, and blankets for newborns of families in need, blankets, hats and scarves for homeless, blankets for chemo patients, pillowcases for children in transition, and prayer shawls are created to provide comfort for emotionally needy. Our items are distributed at local hospitals, the VA, other groups, and charitable organizations in Tucson, AZ. Our goal is to gracefully meet the needs of the needy.
