Turban Makers Fellowship

UMW Turban Group Celebrates

You would too, if your group had this record:

10,000 turbans/head coverings
2,242 small pillows
453 lap robes

… all distributed since Dona Kincade started this group in 2002.

Ten or so dedicated members sew at home and meet monthly to sort and sew more items for distribution. Doris Schmidt (95 years young) is proud of her lap robes, two members are thankful for their 37 and 42 years of being cancer free. The Turban group meets monthly to put together these items that are then donated to hospitals and clinics for cancer patients. An article on the Turban group was featured in the March  2009 Mid-County Memo and the Oregonian.

Donations of fabrics-especially stretch, and polyester fiberfill or batting are always welcome! The Turban group meets every third Tuesday, 1 p.m. at the church in room #2 and invites you to join them!  Questions?-Judy Wilson (503) 255-1915 would love to share with you about this great project!
