The Guild decided supports the efforts of the Blue Star Mothers to send care packages to servicemen and women. If you wish to learn more about this local organization, their Facebook page link is https://www.facebook.com/TVBSMA.ID3/
This worthy cause was added to our ongoing monthly projects and is included in our monthly Outreach fabric drawing for those who participate. The stockings will be delivered after the October meeting for the Blue Star Mothers to fill and ship.

Important: Before printing the pattern on page 3, make sure your Print Option for Page Scaling is set to None or Print to Page. If not, the pattern will print within your page margins and the stockings will be too small.
Then trace the printed pattern on an old file folder or a larger piece of paper and add a 1/4 inch seam allowance on all sides, top, and bottom.
The Guild has been invited to help make items designed to help patients with Dementia, Alzheimer’s and brain trauma. These items help calm patients and reduce their anxiety while filling their time by promoting movement, brain stimulation and flexibility. To prevent infections, the mats and muffs are intended for one-time use and will stay with the patient who receives them. Below is a document with more information and guidelines. For further information and ideas, there is both a Facebook page and Pinterest Board: “Fidget Mat Guild of Treasure Valley.
