Sewing With Nancy

Nancy's Corner - Maggie Ball, Update on Mongolia

Clip: Season 2900 Episode 2903 | 5m 25s

Maggie Ball taught basic quilting and sewing skills to Mongolian women so that they could be self sufficient economically. They started with nothing but scraps ten years ago, but now create beautiful bags, art quilts, and more to sell in a center purchased with funds from a capital campaign hosted by Maggie’s church. Classes at the center now teach other Mongolian women to be self supporting.
