Holy Needles Celebrates Christmas and Giving

Gratitude... that's what is in the hearts of those who receive the thousands of items created by members of Holy Needles.  Gratitude is also in the hearts of those who are Holy Needles members.  We are all grateful to be able to create items for those in need.  Thank you to all who support Holy Needles in any way.  We especially thank those who support us by making it possible to supply all the yarn, fleece, hooks, needles, and fabric needed to create beanies, booties, blankets, scarves, hats, dishcloths, and whatever else we are called to create as a response to a need.  God bless each and every one of you.


Here's some pics from the Holy Needles December fellowship gathering... thanks for sharing in the fun!

Fundraising... 'No Excuses' Fellowship Group @ Casas Held a Fundraiser for Holy Needles November 2011
