The Quilts

Here are some photos of our progress from Craft Night!




Emily worked on hand-quilting the "granny-square" inspired quilt blocks. Already, she is becoming a pro in her second week of quilting.  First time quilters, Katie and Chris, worked on hand-quilting the zig-zag quilt (and did an amazing job!) Meanwhile, Victoria stitched up some very lovely green and blue log cabin quilt blocks at the sewing machine! Our initial goal here is to make five quilts and take the time to make them really well. It was very fun and we hope that you can join us during our next get together on May 3rd.

Hello World!

Here we are, at the beginning of something great. We are starting this ministry to be in fellowship with one another and to reach out beyond our church and show love. This blog is here as a resource so that we can keep up with what's going on and what's new!
Our next Craft Night will be Monday April 23rd at 6pm at Caitlin Betsy Bell's house in Essex Junction. For directions and more info, drop us a line at sew.quilt.love@gmail.com

What's a Craft Night? Well that is the community aspect of this--we get together and work on baby quilts to be taken the upcoming mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Simply bring yourself (or your sewing machine if you feel so inclined!). Don't know how to quilt? No worries--we would love to teach you!
