Chat, Crafts & Cake<br />
Chat, Crafts and Cake is a weekly<br />
highlight for those who enjoy crafts<br />
and camaraderie. Whether your craft is<br />
knitting, quilting, needlepoint or simply<br />
mending your clothes, or whether you are<br />
a beginner or an expert, you are welcome to<br />
join us. Fish that UFO (Unfinished Object)<br />
out of the drawer and get going on it again.<br />
CCandCer’s are always ready with a helping<br />
hand, a lesson, or some advice. Each week,<br />
a different Member brings a cake - tried and<br />
true, or experimental. Babysitting is not<br />
available and there are lots of sharp objects<br />
about (pins, needles, scissors and wit) so<br />
we cannot accommodate children. Contact<br />
Suzanne Dundas at awcthehague.crafts@<br />
gmail.com for more information<br />

Heart Pillow Project<br />
Members work together to make heartshaped<br />
pillows designed to help support<br />
the arms of recent mastectomy patients.<br />
Each pillow is made with TLC, wrapped,<br />
and comes with a note signed by an <strong>AWC</strong><br />
volunteer. No sewing skills are needed, as<br />
you can cut, stuff, or wrap the heart pillows.<br />
We are proud to provide men and women<br />
with something both practical and comforting,<br />
and we know our work helps because<br />
we often receive thank-you notes and emails<br />
from the patients who have received a heart<br />
pillow. For more information, please contact<br />
