August 2019 Work Day Recap

Taking a moment to just thank God for all that He provides for this quilt ministry.  From fabric donations to skilled and gifted quilters (who give much wisdom and patience to us other less skilled quilters ðŸ˜„), to providing needed batting for all the quilts, and supplying long-arm quilters and non-long-arm quilters to actually QUILT all of these quilts!  God is SO good!

This weekend there were SEVEN boxes of donated fabric waiting for our crew.  Throughout the day two more ladies brought in more donations. Hope Quilter's bins and shelves are really full with some great stuff!  God is SO good!

This weekend over 35 quilts came in from quilters, ready for binding.  No, you did not read that wrong...THIRTY-FIVE!  God is SO good!

This weekend a few dedicated gals put together around forty "kits" to be ready-to-go for our JOPPA weekend in October, along with sorting through all that donated fabric and giving it a home, and other quilting "kits" are always being organized and put together to make it simple for new quilters to grab and take home to work on.  This group has a good sprinkling of organizers and those who love to swim in all that fabric!  God is SO good!

Some other items of interest:
  • The Riverside auction raised $475 from the quilts we donated.  Okoboji results not in yet.  
  • Emoji Project Work Day netted some PRETTY DARNED CUTE blocks, wait until you see them!  PHOTOS
I don't think we can say it enough...God is SO good!
