Yarnbombers Needed

Calling all Crafters: Help Wanted!

We need sweaters....lots of sweaters....for four trees....by September.  Many hands make light work so help us out. See these these trees...They're naked and need sweaters!

The four lovely Walnut Tree Sisters live in the Mountain Ranch Community Park. They need fancy, swanky outfits for a big community party commemorating the year anniversary of the Butte Fire in September. It's a Healing through the Arts celebration with loads of fun, food, healing and comradeship so the Trees want to look their best! Sep 10th is the big party and unveiling of the Pieces Memorial Mosaic project. A great day to mark the passage of time since last years devastation. Plans are afoot to include our Butte Blankets of Love in a raffle as well....so if you're still working on your don't stop!

We need many hands to help knit and crochet up gorgeous, colorful sweaters and then dress them up for the big gala. Because the Walnut Sisters want to look like this...

How to Help

1. We need knitters and crocheters to help make up big swaths of fabric over the summer months.
2. People to help sew the trees into their fantastic red-carpet worthy outfits before the Sept. celebration
3. Yarn donations because it takes a lot of yarn to dress a tree!

How to Sign Up?

If you want to join in contact the coordinator, Robin Modlin at  robin.modlin@gmail.com She will organize all us enthusiastic crafters over the next few months. She hopes to have enough to meet up in June to brainstorm, plan and get cracking.

Yarn donations gratefully accepted too....just bring to maisieblue. Great way to winnow your stash, do a clean up or closets and liberate neglected yarns out into the big wide world of yarn bombing!
