There is much thankfulness for everyone's participation this month! It was a bit of a hectic weekend, as time was spent getting prepared for the new Hope Quilters space in a different and even better closet!
Because of the move, the opportunity arose to clean out some
old stuff, solve the mismatched bin/lid problem, look in all the bins, and do some sorting and purging. During that time, many forgotten treasures and some old projects that just
need to get finished were found. (Remember the 500 donated quilt tops?!)
There
were many who helped, others who offered and then were just happy to
stay out of the way. Everyone jumping in, so enthusiastically to help, no matter what is asked, is greatly appreciated. Every one of you are all so valuable to this ministry and
to each other.
Show and
Tell was amazing as always. There were 46 donations. Be sure to take a
look on the PHOTOS blog page. Clearly, some of you are embracing the scrappy quilt challenge, by the looks of all the beautiful and unique scrappy quilts that came in! Look for more focused projects
to come. (We still have 3 bins of scraps to get through!!)
Let's all give thanks and praise to the Lord for our new space, and for being so blessed with every single one of these quilting sisters in Christ! This ministry would not be the success that it is without all of you.
Happy stitching!
