Meru Valley’s Patchwork Societys Charity Bazaar is spreading some traditional cheer with handsewn face masks, crafts, food and jumble sale at its 13th annual bazaar, with funds raised to support the care of local disabled children at Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Setia Silibin. The society has created beautiful face masks, purses, bags, cot quilts, coasters, handphone cases, bags, passport holders and many others. Initiated by Datin Mina Ushiama, she said: “This year we have handmade reusable face mask… There will be two designs – one made from ‘Batik’ material and the other made of attractive prints and gauze, which has four layers and would be very comfortable. These masks are priced at RM 7 per piece. “This time round we have added patchwork collections from some professional patchwork artist from KL, Ms Bovey Ho, Ms.Yoriko Sugihara and Ms. Yukiko Kojima in this bazaar. Ms. Bovey Ho used to donate her crochet bags and dolls for our annual bazaars, however this year she has made face masks. Ms. Yoriko has given us her handmade bags, purses, and pottery, meanwhile Ms. Yukiko has donated some of her handmade crafts to us to be sold at the bazaar. These three wonderful people are great volunteers who have been contributing to our Patchwork Society.” With the festive season just around the corner, take this opportunity to purchase fine handmade crafts as gifts and support the lives of disabled children with your generosity. During the event, SOPs, including socially distancing and temperature checks, will be adhered to. Please remember to wear a mask, wash your hands and keep at least 1 metre of space around you. See you there!
