Local Quilters Spread The Goodwill

    The PieceMakers sewing group at the Lakeview Terrace Life Care Community have been busy recently, distributing unique creations to both residents at the Altoona retirement facility and local organizations. Members are Lakeview Terrace residents with a flair for creation, and make regular donations throughout the facility and the broader community.
    Lakeview Terrace assisted living residents received  one-of-a-kind clothing protectors, created with a pocket and reversible wearability.  Member Linda Crabtree chaired the project, and created many of the protectors.  Most of the creations were pieced with patterns of different fabrics, and each side was unique in its appearance.
    Members also made a donation of a quilt to the St. Mary of the Lakes Catholic Church in Eustis.  The quilt, named ‘dinosaur adventures’, was donated to the church’s fall festival event to be included as a raffle item. 
    For the second year, Christian Care Center in Eustis received PieceMaker creations.  The group donated baby quilts, baby blankets, and quilted baby bibs among other items for use in the center.  When donating the items, group members toured the facility.
