💛 Special Guest Speaker Announcement 💛

The Milton Community Crochet Collective, Inc. is excited to welcome Raylen Williams , Licensed Massage Therapist, as our guest speaker at the Milton Public Library in September !

🌿 Attuning to Wholeness:
Honoring the Natural Unfolding of Your Journey

Raylen’s work is centered around helping people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate greater awareness, presence, and self-compassion. Drawing from her background in massage therapy, yoga, meditation, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, craniosacral work, myofascial release, and psychology, she offers a thoughtful and holistic approach to well-being.

During this special 20-30 minute presentation, Raylen will invite us to explore a simple but powerful question:

“Who am I?”

Together, we’ll reflect on the importance of slowing down, listening inward, and creating space for ourselves in a world that often asks us to move faster and do more.

Raylen believes that each of us carries an innate wisdom within, and that by learning to pause, notice, and be present, we can reconnect with our authentic selves and experience greater ease, balance, and wholeness.

What a special day for our Milton Crochet Club! 💙🧶☕

This project truly became possible because of the kindness and generosity of so many wonderful people.

A very special thank you to Mrs Patricia Wilcox , who donated both her time and her money to help bring our T-shirts to life. She generously paid for all of the shirts and the DTF prints, and even pressed the first five shirts herself. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for our club.

Another heartfelt thank you goes to Amy Leigh Simonson , who designed our beautiful logo. Suzanne Segarra choosing the colors. They specifically wanted the coffee cup to be part of the design because our crochet club was born over coffee, and that little cup represents where our journey began.

Today was even more special because our wonderful member Karyn Littlejohn purchased the very first T-shirt! We believe it’s a sign of good luck, and we hope it brings many wonderful things to our club.

Miss Patricia also created a beautiful front print featuring our café, and we absolutely love how it turned out.

We also have some exciting news! My dear friend Ekaterina Yüksel who has worked for many years at T-Shirt Factory in Rehoboth Beach, has generously offered to supervise and guide us as we continue printing our shirts. We are so thankful for her experience and support.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to the owner of T-Shirt Factory, who very generously donated the use of their printing equipment so we can produce our shirts. Your kindness and support mean so much to our club, and we truly appreciate your generosity.

And a big thank you to my sweet friend B Marie Designs , whom I met at the Farmers Market. She helped us purchase these high-quality T-shirts at a wonderful price, making this project even more affordable.

This has truly been a community effort. Every person contributed something unique—whether it was time, talent, equipment, ideas, or financial support. It is amazing to see what can happen when people come together with generous hearts.

As a small thank-you for everything they do, our coaches and members will be able to purchase their T-shirts at a 50% discount. The shirts will be available for everyone very soon!

This shirt is more than just a T-shirt. It tells the story of how our club began over a cup of coffee, how friendships were formed, and how an incredible community came together to build something beautiful.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We can’t wait to see our members wearing these shirts with pride! ❤️🧶☕

🩷🧶 How are our baby blankets coming along? 🧶🩷

We’d love to see your progress!

Our Baby Blanket Project is officially underway, and we’re so excited to watch each blanket grow—one stitch at a time. 💕

Have you started yours yet? We’d love for you to share a photo in the comments! Whether you’ve finished a few rows or you’re almost done, every stitch is a step toward wrapping a newborn in warmth, comfort, and love.

Here’s a little peek at one that’s currently on the hook… with a curious little helper making sure everything is going just right! 🐾😸

Our goal is to make at least 30 baby blankets for local hospitals and families in need, and we know we can do it together.

Let’s inspire one another. Show us what you’re working on—we can’t wait to see everyone’s beautiful creations! 💛🧶

🧶♻️ Look what creativity can do! ♻️🧶

Treasa transformed her son’s old blue jeans into this absolutely beautiful handmade crochet bag! 💙

What a wonderful example of giving new life to something that might otherwise have been forgotten. By combining crochet with recycled denim, she created a one-of-a-kind piece that is both beautiful and practical.

We love seeing the creativity, talent, and imagination within our Milton Community Crochet Collective. Every project tells a story, and this one is a perfect reminder that handmade art can be both sustainable and inspiring.

Amazing work, Tresa Leigh Bohon Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. 💛👜🧶

💛 Another Wonderful Library Gathering! 🧶📚

Today was another wonderful day at our monthly gathering at the Milton Public Library!

We had an amazing turnout, with 22 participants coming together to learn, create, and support one another.

This month, we officially began our Baby Blanket Project. Our wonderful teacher, Miss Patricia, introduced us to two different blanket patterns ( corner-to-corner (C2C) blanket patterns and @—one a little easier than the other—so everyone could choose the pattern that best matched their experience level. It was wonderful to see beginners and experienced crocheters learning side by side.

Our hope is that each participant will complete a baby blanket to donate to newborns and families in need. If you’re reading this and already know how to crochet, we’d love for you to join our mission! You can make a baby blanket at home and bring it to one of our gatherings. Every blanket will help bring warmth, comfort, and love to a family.

We were also honored to welcome our guest speaker, Rosemarie Davis, who shared wonderful reminders about how simple movement, gentle stretching, and small daily habits can make a big difference in our health and well-being. Thank you, Rosemarie, for accepting our invitation, sharing your knowledge, and inspiring us to take better care of ourselves.

We especially enjoyed seeing the beautiful handmade heirlooms that have been passed down through three generations of your family. Thank you for sharing those special treasures and the stories behind them.

Finally, thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, taught, encouraged others, and made today’s gathering so special. Every meeting reminds us that we’re creating so much more than crochet projects—we’re building friendships, learning together, and making a positive difference in our community.

We can’t wait to see everyone at our next gathering! 💛🧶
