The beginning of the YaYas

Shorty after my retirement, a new craft room was created in the condo I live in for use as desired.  It was October and I wanted to create something to donate to homeless women for the holidays.  Searching through my fabrics I decided that I would create quilted bags and fill them with toiletries for donation.  But I needed help.  I posted a flyer asking for volunteers to help with the project and four wonderful women stepped forward and just like that this wonderful group got its beginning.  Since then two others have joined.  Since then, we have created dozens of quilts for children in shelters and pillow cases for children in hospitals.  Like the Ya Yas, we are very particular who we let in our group.  Every Tuesday, we get together for quilting, conversation, and comradery.
