MISSION QUILTERS for Lutheran World Relief prepare quilts throughout the year according to the specifications of LWR. During the past 20 years, over 15 volunteers have worked to assemble the quilts. Once a year, the quilts are blessed and displayed on the pews. All are welcome as a variety of ability is needed: cut or assemble 11” squares into a pattern, sewing at home or in the Quilt Room, tying to secure each square and preparing kits. See the marked basket in the narthex. Each kit has cut squares and a pattern for sewing straight stitching.
We meet the second Friday of each month from 10:00-2:00p.m.
Bring a lunch as coffee and treats are offered.
As quilts are completed, and boxed with a shipping code the are delivered to a local ingathering site, and finally to a warehouse near Baltimore, MD. Quilts are shipped to over 24 countries including the USA. We contribute to Lutheran World Relief $3.00 for each quilt. Many thanks to our congregation for encouragement and generous support. See lwr.org for more information.
