Purpose or goal? Mary Margaret Webb founded the club after her granddaughter, Lindsey Drue Crowder, was diagnosed with leukemia. They started the club to make quilts, hats, and pillows for the Arkansas Children's Hospital and other children who need the support. The quilts are made to put something in the hands of the child during the stay in such a scary time. The children get to keep the quilts forever. The club members have made 17,150 quilts.
How can someone join? They can come to the meetings and join in on the experience. Those who sew are especially welcome. All the materials are furnished. They really would like more people to join.
