*** Sloan Zone Ambassador team *** their charity and fundraiser š
- Kendall – I helped fundraise to get a church bell tower completed after being missing for 100 years, we also got bells for the tower from a church in England that was lost to fire, for example)
- Laura – My hometown now, Bellefontaine (French for beautiful spring) is being revitalized. By a group of entrepreneurs called, Small Nation. Our town has become a standard for other towns who are now restoring their towns. Small Nation has basically gone through gutted each building/business and restored it back to its original beauty. Old dilapidated buildings have been saved. And Our town has the smallest street (McKinley St) in America and the first concrete street in America (court st) It was a test street.
- Suzanne – Like many quilters, I pitch in with my guilds ā community quiltsā. Over the years Iāve made tops and now quilt for the group. They supply quilts to our local childrens homes , womens shelter, local sheriff and fire departments emergency response teams. I also quilt for a group in neighboring Connecticut called Quilts that Care. They supply quilts to cancer patients in treatment and in hospice. For over 30 years I have been a āfriendā to my local library.
- Barbara – My favorite charity currently is The Normady Project. Itās a organization created to help women who have escaped human trafficking, where they can learn to live independently through mentoring, support and encouragement. In addition, on-site classes are offered in areas of trauma recovery, healthy boundaries, life skills, employment skills, parenting skills, culinary skills, exercise and more.
- Carrie G – Both my daughter and I are Girl Scouts. We support our local council and service units efforts which not only empower young woman, but teaches them the importance of community service. Even my son benefited from his sister being a Scout for 13 years as he modeled what she learned through the organization.
- Kathy – Many of the groups I belong to do a Charity project each year. Over the years I have made quilts for preemie beds, lap quilts for Hospice, quilts for the woman's shelter, hats, scarves, and washcloths for the homeless. I also volunteer my time with several local organizations.
- Brenda -Growing up my mom taught me that no matter how bad you think you have it thereās always someone else that is having an even harder time. Giving and helping others itās a good thing.
Alzheimerās research I made 36 Art quilts which were auctioned and proceeds went to research. Pretty Chemo caps with machine embroidery made and donated to local Cancer treatment center. I even donated my hair minimum 10ā more than once. For cancer wigs that are provided free to patients. Crochet the tiniest hats & booties for our NICU. And also for theMarch of dimes preemie project. Making tiny quilts & blankets. Just the size of a legal envelope! Helps those fragile babies look more like real babies and gives comfort to the families. Just some of my ways to give to others
- Dorris – The quilt group I am in donates quilts to Quilts of valor, Child Advocacy, and Family Promise (a group for homeless or near homeless families with children in our county). There are only 8 of us on a regular basis and we have made and donated over 50 quilts so far this year. I do the quilting on a large percentage of the quilts in addition to doing my own.

My favorite holiday memory was going to Grandma's for Christmas Eve dinner. She would make ornaments throughout the year and her tree would be filled with her handcrafts. At the end of the evening we could select a new ornament to take home and put in our own Christmas stash. I still have her felted, feathered birds and sequined Styrofoam balls and even little plastic canvas mailboxes that you can hide a Hershey's kiss in. - Suzanne who said…

My favorite holiday tradition is making pajamas for my nephew. This is the 24th year of doing it. He got a quilt on his 18th birthday made from the outgrown pajamas. My favorite holiday treats are all the sweets my family makes once per year. Eating them is like taking a walk down memory lane.
MY favorite holiday tradition is just being with family no matter what holiday it is.
I love your quilt at the Christmas Tree lot. I am buying the book and making that one. Right now I am finishing a twin size pinwheel quilt for charity. It will be donated to a teenager. My quilt guild asked members to make a quilt representing either an Elvis Presley song or a Beatles song. Mine has yellow submarines on it representing the Beatles. Thanks for all your wonderful quilting ideas and instructions. Youāre the best Pat.
My favorite holiday sweet is my late father-in-lawās Seven Layer Bars! True, divine decadence.
I started a tradition when my grandchildren were very small of making a homemade ornament for each one of them every year. I watch you everyday. Thank you for all your hard work.

My favorite sweet is apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Thank you for your give away. Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving.
The best part of the holidays for me is Christmas night after all the gifts are opened and everyone has filled up on delicious food, we just sit around and talk. The kids are all cuddly and mellow. The adults are letting out a sigh of relief as one more Christmas is complete.
My favorite holiday tradition is sitting quietly in the living room with no lights except the Christmas tree sipping some good coffee and listening to soft holiday music.
My favorite sweets are the butter cookies my daughter in law shares with me!
Happiest birthday, Pat!

Fruit cake! My mom has made it every year for about 50 years. Delicious, but I canāt convince her that it would be even better if she baked in some alcohol.
Mine is getting together with family even though we all can’t be together since part of them are out west. But we do get to talk or video chat! This will be our first without Mom, but she’ll be celebrating with Jesus himself!
