Doesn't this picture say it all? It was a beautiful weekend of quilting. We committed to staying longer and focused primarily on the Altar cloths and boy, did we have fun. There were several newcomers as the word got out and many wanted to help with Altar cloths. The picture shows us praying over both the Altar cloths and the other mission quilts that were finished. 55 Alter cloths and 29 other quilts are going to missions. 26 book pillows went off to Bidwell and Hawthorn Hills agencies this week. Photos are HERE.
If you're interested in helping and need a project, there are still a few "kits" made up if you want to stop by a meeting sometime and grab one. There are also some quilt tops ready to go to be finished up.
One surprise on Saturday was that a photographer from the production crew showed up to take several pictures and videos of us working. The Hope 360 had some snip-its of us and they mentioned our efforts!
Until next time, keep sewing away!
It's been delightful to see Hope Quilters from afar, as I worship virtually every week! I am SO proud of each and every one of you, for the blessing you are to others, and especially to people in Ghana who will worship at an altar where a Hope Quilters quilt is laid. Jody, you are a blessing to Lutheran Church of Hope, leading other makers as you do. Everyone shares their gifts, and generously blesses others with those gifts. It's beautiful to witness God's people at work, expanding His kingdom!
