The last Stitchin' Mission lesson was at
Faith Lutheran Church on Thursday. We had a nice turn-out, though I fear we "lost" a few newbies along the way. However, those who saw lessons through to the finish are just as proud as can be about their quilts, and rightly so!

Sadly, at least four quilters who made quilts are missing from our group picture.
One of our Rebekahs (helpers) made a "John Deere" quilt using fabrics that had been donated to Stitchin' Mission. When she took the finished quilt to work, to show her co-workers, she was offered money for it! Happily, instead of a quilt, House of Mercy will be getting a $100 donation! I'm sorry we don't have a picture of that quilt.
During show and tell, we saw some beauties - quilts, and quilters!

Forty-five quilts were turned in Thursday evening! Temporarily, the quilts were laid across three room partitions.
They made an impressive and colorful display.
Another 20 quilts are expected to be finished.
All 60-plus quilts will be hung in the sanctuary at Faith Lutheran Church beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday, November 19. If you're available to help hang quilts, Peggy would appreciate it.
To see the quilts displayed on November 19-20, you're invited to attend one of Faith's three worship services: Saturday at 5 p.m., or Sunday at 8:30 or 10 a.m.
Thank you all for your hard work. You're a blessing, especially to the children at House of Mercy.

That is just amazing. As I was scrolling through the post, I had goosebumps crawling clear down to my knees. They did a wonderful job and should be proud!! How impressive they all look hanging together.
