November Blessings


Remember my great friend Wendy who lives in California? Every year their church provides many charity quilts. Here is this year's bounty at the blessing of the quilts. Their church (Our Savior's Lutheran in Lafayette, CA) has 120 finished quilts to take to the gathering in Morgan Hill. Then they are tucked to Minnesota for packing to overseas. Doesn't this picture just make your heart sing?

Information about the quilt project is at http://www.lwr.org/beinvolved/quilts.asp

I know many of us are involved in making quilts for others: American Heroes, Project Linus, local relief missions and other good causes. Our guild makes simple snowball block quilts for several organizations who have the need in our area. This is a good month for us to all count our blessings!

Can't think of a better hobby (obsession?) than quilting for sharing with others in need. Quilts bring joy to the giver as well as receiver. What a blessing!
