We welcomed members of the Essex County Needlecraft Guild (ECNG) to Crafters Quarters today as part of the ECNG’s mystery trip to Amesbury. While here, guild members assembled and sewed 50 very cute chemo supply bags to donate to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 

The whole chemo supply bag idea started when cancer survivor Sara Gallet was ending her treatment and was given her chemo supplies in a wadded up paper bag. Gallet said that she felt like that bag–and didn’t want anyone else to feel that way. So she went to Zimman’s to shop for fabric to make her own bags to donate. Word about the bags got around to Kristin Hunter at ECNG and the guild decided to pitch in. And we are so glad that they did because we got to meet them and they are wonderful and we hope they come back soon. (Especially since they shared their  lunch and candy with us!)

Also! ECNG welcomes new members. If you are interested in attending a meeting, please email Kristin Hunter at the following address: kristinhunter@comcast.net .
