The group creates "temperature tapestries" () to track the daily high temperatures at Geneseo from 2021, the college's . Students, faculty, staff, and alums come together to learn, teach, and enjoy crafting, mainly knitting and crochet, during in-person meetings once a week. Participants are encouraged to stitch temperatures from years other than 2021 to show the impact of climate change across time.
