A new group of young sewers has named itself Sticking to It. It started with one girl’s interest at Rally Day two years ago. Sara Larghe signed up with the adult group Peace and Stitch, but found that the group met during her class hours. This year she came to the Peace and Stitch booth again, and again declared her interest in the group. It was then that this new group was developed. Melissa Vann leads this group along with help from others in Peace and Stitch on the third Saturday of the month to mentor the young ladies who come to learn to do hand ‐sewing, use sewing machines, and make quilts.

The girls have made heart pillows to donate to the nursing homes, chatelaines, and a hand‐quilted angel doll for Christmas. The activities have helped the girls in their quest to earn Girl Scout badges as well. The girls in the group include: Sara Larghe, Rianna Robles, Misty Horton, Beth Horton, Emma Kyme, Ariel Hendricks, Caitlin Meskill, Liv Campbell, Faith Kim, Jade Jones, Alyssa Tinsley, and Lindsay Thompson. Adult helpers include: Jane Robles, Sue Kyme, and Linda Meskill. Peace and Stitch assistants are: Melissa Vann, Joyce Horton, Judy Easterby, Jan Saik, and Kate Hubener.

The group meets the third Saturday of the month from 10:00 a.m.‐noon in Room 211 of the Mission Center. The group would appreciate the donation of working sewing machines. For more information contact Melissa Vann at 281‐358‐3602.
