Quilters

The quilter's group meets the first Thursday of every month from 9 to 11 am at the church. Ten to fourteen women came every month to tie the quilts. The goal of this group is to make many quilts for people in need. Most quilt tops for the comforters are made at home by ladies that enjoy machine sewing squares of colorful material together. The middle layer and the backings for the comforters are made of used sheets and fabrics. 

 

The quilters plan to meet on September 6th from 9:00 to 11:00 am at the church. September is
typically our busiest month as the time gets closer to sending quilts off to Lutheran World Relief. We plan to display the quilts in the sanctuary later in the month before they are packed, labeled and
taken to Zion Lutheran Church in Rockford. From that point the boxes will be taken to New Jersey where they will be unpacked and the quilts will be put into huge bundles to go to disaster areas where needed all over the world. Our closet is overflowing with lovely quilts waiting to be given to someone in need. Please join us on the first Thursday of any month as we work together and have Christian fellowship.
