Mission Quilts

Women with the Petersburg Lutheran Church spend two days a month visiting and sewing together mission quilts.  The dimensions of these quilts have to 60 inches by 80 inches and that's it.  The designs of the quilt are up to the makers.  Now that I'm retired, I get to do all kinds of fun things during the day.  I look forward to many more days of cutting and sewing quilts together with this group.  Everyone has a job.  The cutters at this get together were

Sue

Marcy and Sally

and Ginger.

Gail is a cutter too and Dell is sewing binding on the quilt and as you can see, fellowship is the order of the day.

Jackie got to sew the binding on this great puffy quilt.

Marilyn spent the day sewing this green top together.

Another example of how quilting brings people together.  Kris and Heidi make the quilt sandwiches.  This group has been meeting regularly since the mid '60's.  It started in our local Presbyterian Church and later moved to the Lutheran Church when the Head Start program took over the space at the Presbyterian Church.

Donna's job is to the the quilts with yarn.

Sally's yummy quiche and Heidi's zucchini cake gave us the right amount of energy to get through the afternoon.  

There's nothing like a day of quilting with incredible women.
