Ties That Bind (Quilting Ministry)

Faith Circle and St. Mark's Church Women have revitalized the ministry of providing tied quilts for Lutheran World Relief. (For many years, Helen and Harvey Soll engineered this project and we are grateful for their efforts.) This group of volunteers (men are welcome, as well as people who are not members of St. Mark's) will meet the LAST Thursday of every month for fellowship and service to measure, cut, iron, assemble and tie these quilts using materials hopefully donated by members of our congregation. Cotton or polyester fabric, flat or fitted 60 " X 80 " bed sheets, embroidery floss, sewing thread and large needles are among items needed to begin.  Look for a complete list of items in the newsletters and bulletins.  One DOES NOT need to be a "quilter" to assist with this project! But many volunteers are needed as "many hands make light work".  

Thank you to Sharon Renshaw for agreeing to be coordinator of this project.  Donated items may be left in the Fellowship Hall and clearly mark them for "Quilters" . We hope to see you as we make quilts for LWR once again and can be a part of this worthy ministry.
