* Time - we can always use someone willing to
make/assemble http://www.sewforhopenow.com/?page_id=1415, knit or crochet afghans, or what have you. Even if you
can't sew - you can help by assembling bundles of fabric or ironing/pressing
quilt tops, or even by just spreading the word.

purchasing quilt batting, extra needles and thread, machine servicing, and more.

especially seems to be our greatest need.
