We sang about snow last month and Mother Nature must
have remembered. Friday we watched as the day got more
treacherous by the hour. By 3:00 pm most had left, taking their machines
with them in case they couldn't get back the next day. Those who left
early called with warnings of the icy roads.
You may have thought the month would be a bust. Not So! The demo on quilting with rulers will be postponed, but let's not assume that some icy roads can keep Hope Quilters down. We still had 31 finished quilts and blankets to go to Missions!

We even dropped off the quilts for missions on Friday as we weren't sure we'd have an audience for Show and
Tell. So check out PHOTOS page to see pictures of all this month's finished
quilts. By Saturday only two gals were left with sewing machines and that meant two more Joppa blankets and one Emoji got done. The rest came
for fellowship and snacks, and how fun that so many of you just stopped in for a chat. What a great example of the power of relationship.
There was also some continued discussion on the future of Hope Quilter's Ministry.

There was a consensus that in order to continue to have a bit more of our supplies available, and since Waukee Hope campus has graciously agreed to help out this Ministry with some storage space, it was agreed by HQ members that we will be moving our monthly
meetings to the Hope Waukee campus. Given we get all the details worked
out, this will be effective for our next (February) meeting and if you are on the mailing list, details will be shared via email.
From Jody: God never said life on this earth would always be
easy. Figuring out where to store fabric for quilts is certainly not
the most critical topic of the day. But put in perspective, it did create
some angst for all of us. I am so blessed by your willingness to put your
faith in God. If we let Him guide our ministry, I believe we will
continue to see opportunities unfold in front of us and we will be fulfilled by
his Amazing Grace. Thank you for your prayers and support!
