How you’re making a difference


Shirley Biehl, owner of Shirley’s Sewing Stuff in Dale, Indiana, fi lls the


slower times at her shop by donating her time and talents to making


things for others. She has made quilts and pillowcases for a homeless


shelter and for a family that was getting a new home but had no


belongings. Over time, word got around about her eff orts and now


Shirley is receiving fabric donations and volunteers to help her with the


assembly. She says she hopes to live to be 113 years old so she can help


people who are in need for years to come.
