Residents at Moosehaven’s Katherine Smith Hall enjoyed a delightful sewing party filled with creativity, connection, and plenty of smiles. This hands-on activity brought residents together for a meaningful afternoon.
Two Brandon Place residents, Sandy Johnson and Charlene Fenimore, generously shared their time and sewing talents by helping lead the sewing party alongside Activities Director Donna. Together, they guided the Katherine Smith Hall ladies as they created their own keepsake pillows. Each pillow reflected individual creativity, and residents took great pride in their finished pieces.
Laughter and conversation filled the room as residents worked with their hands and encouraged one another. The sewing party offered more than a creative outlet. It provided an opportunity for social connection, gentle learning, and a sense of accomplishment.
