Quilting
Group/Threads
of Love
This has been a busy and productive year for the Quilting Group.
In September 2002, a new homeless center opened in Pompano Beach,
FL. They have 200 beds arranged dormitory style along with 10 family
units. We contacted them to see if they could use quilts and were
told "we need everything." So, we packed up 200 quilts
and promptly delivered them. We've also collected children's books
to help them set up a library for the children.
During
the winter cold snap, we sent St. Laurence Chapel 180 quilts. We
ended our year with 757 quilts and crocheted large wraps. 9,930
quilts have been made since 1985.
Many
thanks go to the good people of St. Stephen for all the support,
both financially and with donations of fabric, old sheets, yarn,
etc.
We
said a sad good-bye to Jeanne Kimmelman, a dear lady and faithful
worker who passed away last September.
