Loving Stitches
Loving Stitches was formed in the fall of 2006 out of a desire to give back to parishioners in a positive manner. Our idea was to knit or crochet baby blankets to give to newborns being churched on the occasion of their 40-Day blessing. Starting with 12 members the group has grown to over 30 members today. In addition to the service provided to St. Demetrios, Loving Stiches also makes blankets for “Project Linus,” a national organization which distribute handmade blankets to children and teens who are victims of chronic disease or abuse. Recently they have begun knitting hat and scarf sets for “Seafarers House,” a safe haven located near Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale and dedicated to improving the lives of seafarers and their families. New members are welcome and each is provided with yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks and even lessons for those who do not know how to knit or crochet. For more information about the group contact the Philoptochos of St. Demetrios.
