Quilting Session

Quilting

Our next quilting session will be August 10th at 9 a.m.  Several individuals meet at the church on the second Thursday of the month to make quilts for Lutheran World Relief.

Come and join in this mission outreach to help provide comfort and warmth to those in need. No experience or special skill is needed.  

You meet the nicest, most generous people in fabric stores.  I had $105 of Thrivent Action dollars left for batting.  It was on sale for 50% off.  I took the last six bundles to the register.  There was a gentleman who asked what I was doing with all the batting. I explained that our group at Grace makes quilts for Lutheran World Relief. He said his wife works with a group in Brandon that makes quilts for Appalachia and he takes them to Beckley, W. Virginia, and they are distributed from there.  At this point the lady behind me joins the conversation.  When I got to the register she said she was paying for the batting and handed the cashier her credit card.  The total was $94.03.  She refused to give me her name so we could send a thank you note.  She said she is still working and can’t get involved, but she can purchase supplies.                                                          -  Barbara McPeak
