Sewing Supplies for the Kateri Circle Sewing Group

The Kateri Circle Sewing Group is a very active organization, made up of women from a wide area who meet at the Saint Agnes Catholic Church parish hall on a regular basis to sew, quilt, craft and bead. The women help each other make quilts, clothing, gifts and other items. Some of these are for their families' use, some they sell to earn money, some they donate for various church fund raisers. They also sew dance regalia.

This group includes many elders, and they are also teaching young children, boys and girls, how to sew, quilt and do traditional beading.

They are currently working on projects to sell during their annual Christmas Bazaar and can use your donations of sewing supplies (Christmas fabric welcome) or household items!
