Life is SEW fun for local Seamstress

It may seem that life at the Four Corners Regional Care Center might be so-so, but for Becca Ivy, it's SEW, SEW! Becca has been happily residing there for seeral months and uses her sewing talents to make pillow cases for othr residents. She began sewing in 2007 when she lived at the Grayson apartments in Blanding A friend taught her how to make pillow cases and gave her tips on sewing. She has made at least 100 of them since. "I enjoy making things for others and giving them away," she explained.
She lived in Arizona for some time and sewed there as well, making dozens of strip quilts for family and friends. She has owned several sewing machines, but Brother is her preferred brand. To keep this seamstress happy and busy helping others, she would appreciate donations of fabric. If any local quilters have stashes of fabric they would be willing to donate, please take them to the care center earmarked for Becca. She as well as future recipients will appreciate any donations.
