Concert for Canines - Sunday February 19,2012

02-14-12
Laura Gray

As everyone knows I am involved in the MSP Quilting Angels Group that makes beautiful quilts for Wounded soldiers and their families as well as children with cancer. In our attempt to recycle as much as possible, all of the scraps of fabric, batting are used to create "Doggie" and "Kitty" beds for this organization. We use the heavier fabrics that are donated for the exterior and all of those wonderful scraps for the interior.

If you have time and would like to help ensure that these wonderful animals are given a second chance in life feel free to join us for the concert and/or volunteer in an area that interests you.
