On May 5th, 2019 our Quilt Group and congregation blessed quilts to be sent to Lutheran World Relief.

On April 24th, 2016 our Quilt Group blessed 32 quilts to be sent to Lutheran World Relief.  Many thanks to our quilters for all their hard work throughout this past year to make these beautiful quilts.  These quilts serve as tangible symbols of God's love in some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable communities. 

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ATTENDED

Lutheran World Relief -Mission Quilt Workshop March 23rd

Imagine the comfort that comes with a hug when someone is in a time of deepest need. Through a simple combination of fabric and thread, you can reach out to those with some of the greatest needs in the world, not wrapping them in your arms, but wrapping them in the work of your hands through a Lutheran World Relief Quilt.

In order to support Lutheran World Relief’s effort to gather 500,000 quilts this year, the Quilt Group that meets Tuesdays at Grace held a LWR Mission Quilt Workshop on March 23^rd.  Those who attended helped the group tie 4 quilts and designed 3 more. That brings the total quilts in the process of being completed up to 16 – well on the groups way to a goal of 25 (or more) quilts.

If you would like to continue to help the cause, consider a monetary donation. There is a need to purchase backing and batting for the quilts. The group will also be sending the quilts to LWR, so shipping is another expense and LWR would like donations to their shipping costs. You can give monetary donations (checks made out to Grace Lutheran Church) to any of the quilt group members from Grace: Audrey Goebel, Sandy Jackson, Sandy Miller, Peggy Niforos, Carolyn Peck, Charlotte Petersen and Helen Schreivogl.

Old sheets and Blankets that can be used for backing or filler for the quilts

New and Like-New Blankets measuring approximately 60” X 80” for LWR – they send these blankets out just like they do the quilts (no electric blankets or afghans please)
