I wish I'd seen the SQ episode where they actually went in the prison and observed things in progress.<br /><br /><b>Debra</b> - I have to wonder about the scissors part, too. The inmates are probably chosen with care, but I suppose would still require careful monitoring. <br /><br /><b>Judy</b> - I'd love to see some pictures of your sister in action and some of the Christmas cards!<br /><br /><b>Delta</b> - Isn't it fascinating? If you find out about donations, let me know. Also, can't help but wonder if we put more of these programs in schools and juvenile centers would the prison population eventually decrease?jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-41640584489383569592006-10-24T06:57:00.000-05:002006-10-24T06:57:00.000-05:00A year or so ago at a GSQA meeting they had some a...A year or so ago at a GSQA meeting they had some absolutely gorgeous quilts they showed that were made by men in prison. I don't remember all the details, but they were sewn by hand and had won some kind of award at a show. They've also asked for donations/volunteers at the meetings before. Man, bad memory really bites.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968375210098882945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-15998325185563495242006-10-24T00:38:00.000-05:002006-10-24T00:38:00.000-05:00My sister gives such classes in a prison here in B...My sister gives such classes in a prison here in Belgium.

I know that crochet is very popular.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-48987549778789214112006-10-23T20:07:00.000-05:002006-10-23T20:07:00.000-05:00What a great idea!
