In a month, my older sister, June, will be traveling to the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of “Every Stitch A Prayer” –Congo Cloth Connection.  You can read about her trip and the purpose of it by visiting her blog postings:

“Every Stitch A Prayer” Congo Cloth Connection Part One

“Every Stitch A Prayer” Congo Cloth Connection Part Two

I was praying for a way to support my sister and the women of the BOMEN Sewing Training Center and Workshop.  The answer came this morning when my sister called and asked if I could make some things for her to take to give to the women she will be visiting.  Of course I jumped at the chance!

Between this project, finishing up my academic year, some family business, and helping my mother after she has minor surgery, my posts on Modern Retro Woman will be intermittent for the next month or so.  But it is all good!

“See” you soon!
