Projects funded in support of The KC's Fiber Kids Challenge

This is dedicated to my grandmother, Constance Raab Carsten, a teacher for 45 years in the Staten Island school system. Grandma always put her students first.
Let's promote fiberarts by helping these children learn the joy of weaving. Donate what you can, knowing that you'll be helping a dedicated teacher buy a loom and materials for her classroom. Thanks, gang!
