On a recent visit to the American Textile History Museum in Lowell, MA, our division President, Stephanie Dell ‘Olio and Director of Marketing, Pati Violick (shown below with two Scouts), happened upon a Girl Scouts sewing session. They learned that ATHM partners with the local Scouts so they may obtain their sewing badge. (Who remembers that?)
They made headbands and pillows, then worked their way thru the museum to learn about all the textiles. The girls were using donated fabrics — sounds like the perfect destination for a Marcus donation fabric box!
I still have my girls scout manual, sash and all the badges i earned…. I don’t want to tell you for how long but over 4 decades
