'OHANA MAMMOGRAPHY
*Ice Bag Covers
*CLICK HERE for the pattern
*There is a huge need for flannel ice bag covers; they go through hundreds of these every year.
*You can use flannel scraps to make them so if you have scraps don't run out and buy a bunch of fabric. We only ask that they are happy colors or prints! They truly can make a huge difference in how someone is feeling!
The guild further supports 'Ohana and the women in the Yakima Valley through monetary donations to help those that are struggling financially have the opportunity to receive "gift certificates" for mammograms and screening. We do this through sale of raffle tickets for our raffle quilt which is combined with our quilt show which is held biannually. Your donations are proudly accepted so that we can continue to support this program as we have done for many years.
