Join The CHA Email List!

One of the many things I've loved about the Granny Square project is getting to see people from all over the country participate. I've alway pictured this group becoming nationwide, but I figured the progression to this would be a much slower process. At this time, I want to take advantage of this opportunity by starting an (drumroll please) EMAIL LIST!

Okay, so that was a lot of build-up for something so lame, right? Well, just keep reading! It gets better, i promise!

Recently, I was made aware of a pregnancy crisis center in Barnhart, Missouri that flooded. I contacted the administrator, and she said that at this time, they're collecting burp cloths, changing pads and blankets. Local needs like this rise up frequently, and I want us to be able to assist however possible. 

That's why I'm unveiling this list. Say a family in Pennsylvania, for example, was to lose everything in a house fire. In St. Louis, I'm unable to do very little, but people surrounding that family could organize a get-together and craft like crazy to bless that family. And that's really what Crafted Hearts Alliance is about - establishing a crafting community to help those around them. 

Starting today, I'll start emailing out needs. You may receive an email that looks like this:

If it's in your area and you're able to assist, please email me back (but for the sanity of all, do not reply to all UNLESS you're willing to host a crafting day for the need), and we can work out the details. I'll mention it on the blog and include helpful patterns, but it's a much more personal way of reaching out to all members. Also, if a need arises in your area, let me know so I can pass it on to the group. 

In order to be added, simply email craftedheartsalliance@gmail.com, and I'll add you.

I'm so excited to start on this and see how we can reach out to our communities through it!

Sincerely, 

Lindsay Fickas
