Jane at the Stitchers-for-a-cause

(Originally posted on my main blog April 30, 2014 "Next")



Thursday is my "Stitchers for a cause" day. Every Thursday from 9 to 2 with a potluck lunch about 2 dozen people (mainly ladies but also 3 men) meet to sew, cut and iron their little hearts out to create quilts and other things for a good cause. You can read about it here! It is a very impressive group and everybody is so nice.
I had asked Jane (my sister-in-law visiting from England) whether she would like to go and she did as long as I had something for her to do.

Oh yes, I did. We were a team and made good progress on my project.


Lunch break!

I had to show Jane some of the donated things, fabric, irons ... everything there. Just bring time.

Each volunteer has a "drawer" with their name on it for their project . I do too. Here are only some of them.

One of the leaders, when he said table prayers, gave us an update that he had just been contacted by a certain hospital that quilts were needed and he had brought 105 over to them. He also reminded everybody that if they knew about a friend or neighbor who was in a bad situation and could be comforted with the loving gift of a quilt to let him know. I told him that Jane had just told us the previous night about two good people in her congregation recently diagnosed with cancer.
Look what Jane has to take to England!
