Welcome
Eastside Fiber Arts encourages everyone in the fiber
arts community to join us and make items for local
charities. We are a fun group who get together once a
month to work on our projects. In addition we
participate in local events. Our primary goal is to
create items for local charities but you are welcome to
bring whatever project you are working on. We are
supportive of all types of fiber arts and will do our
best to help teach you whenever possible.
If our meeting time doesn't work for you, please
consider joining our sister group, TBT Fiber Arts Group, who also
meets on the Eastside and makes fiber arts items for
charity. Their meeting times and locations are noted
on the calendar.
Local Charities
The items below have been requested by each local
organization. State regulations require that you wash
and individually bag each item in a Ziploc-type bag.
Please don't forget to tape a card with the size of the
item and any washing instruction on the front of the
bag. Please do not submit articles that need to be hand
washed or dry cleaned out of consideration for the ill
patients and taxed family members. You may either sign
up with Overlake and Children's to deliver the items
yourself or someone in the group who has already signed
up will deliver them for you.
If you are in a need of a pattern, check our list of
where to find free patterns. Patterns
are available for each of the needs listed.
Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center
Children's is in need of the following items:
- 24x24" blankets
- 36x36" blankets
- Scarves for the chapel
They do not need preemie or chemo caps at this time.
Overlake Cancer Resource Center
The Overlake Cancer Resource Center is in need of lightweight chemo caps made from fabric or knitted/crocheted with cotton yarn for the spring and summer. Chemo caps are needed in all sizes. They currently have an overabundance of preemie caps so do not make any more for them.
