Sew the Need

Women that enjoy sewing do it for two very different reasons. Some perform the profession of seamstress as a means to financially support themselve(and a family if applicable). The other group does it as a hobby. They sew just because they can. These ladies sew just for the sheer joy of it.

Women in the community may find Columbus Threads of Love (led by Anita Bates, anita@wowway.com) to be a true blessing from God. Its purpose is to sew at home and abroad in order to minister physically, spiritually, emotionally to those in need.

Above all the various cloth donations Columbus Threads of Love receives, they feel most blessed when a grieving relative gives them fabric (or trim) from a deceased relative.  They in turn bless others with the items they create from the material graciously given by someone else.

Columbus Threads of Love sews for places like churches, public schools, senior care centers, and teen challenge (girls with addiction issues).

For senior citizens, walker bags, fleece blankets, cloth’s protectors (while eating) are made. Children can receive “pillowcase” dresses (for girls), shirt/short sets (for boys), receiving blankets (for babies), and infant burial gowns (when needed). Anita Bates and other women frequently sew at their own homes so the supply of items needed can stay at full capacity.
