You also don\u2019t need to be a resident of Madison County to participate. \u201cOne of the guiding tenets of our group is that anyone and everyone is welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another tenet of the group is quarterly service projects. In December, LSMC! sewed and filled Christmas stockings to donate to various area organizations, including the Madison County foster system and the Salvation Army. Earlier this year, members made pillowcases to donate to children who were staying at the shelter affiliated with nonprofit My Sister\u2019s Place. \u201cWe wanted them to have something that is theirs alone, that they can take with them when they finally have a home,\u201d says Ingraham.<\/p>\n<p>The May service project will support Madison County Animal Services with leash slides\u2014pieces of fabric embroidered with the words \u201cAdopt Me\u201d that slip onto the leash. Member Bailey Nickerson of Fortune Fly Embroidery is going to sew the text onto the fabric before the group members sew the slides. \u201cI love that children are seeing their parents participating in these projects, so that maybe it will normalize the concept and foster the idea of community service in the next generation,\u201d says Ingraham.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69344\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69344\" class=\"wp-image-69344\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2-810x637.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Spotlight-On-Classes-are-held-the-second-Saturday-of-each-month-from-2-4-p.m.-at-the-historic-Anderson-Rosenwald-School-in-Mars-Hill-copy-2-1140x896.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-69344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The historic Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The group is open to men and they attend meetings, but there is a certain sisterhood element that has become crucial for many of the members. Angela Moser, who has been sewing since she was four years old, found out about the group on Facebook. \u201cI joined because I love any kind of sewing and enjoy mentoring new sewers or quilters,\u201d she says, \u201cbut it is important for women to come together to uplift and teach each other. It\u2019s about renewing a love of sewing in all its forms with friends. It\u2019s a positive affirmation of and for women in a supportive community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Camela Klein showed up at a LSMC! meeting in January with her sewing machine, still unopened and in the box. Group member Vicki Fox worked with her to unpack it and explain the parts of the machine, and taught her the basics of sewing. \u201cI\u2019d always wanted to learn to sew, but didn\u2019t know how,\u201d says Klein. \u201cI was greeted so warmly. The group is very supportive and educational, and the members help beginners and experienced sewers alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group currently meets monthly at the historic Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School on the second Saturday of each month from 2\u20144 p.m. This summer, LSMC! will also host meetings at a new nonprofit store in Mars Hill: Remnants ThriftnSew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLSMC! is important to the community because it is a way for residents to learn and pass on skills,\u201d says Ingraham. \u201cBefore technology exploded, sewing was considered a vital life skill. It was a way to clothe your family, create gifts and pass down knowledge. In our own small way, we are keeping those skills alive and hopefully passing them on to the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Anderson Rosenwald School is located at 225 Mount Olive Drive, Mars Hill.
