June Service Activity

Thanks to everyone who signed up to participate in the monthly service activity. Our first meeting will be on:

Thursday, June 26 at 10:00 a.m.

at the Coal Mine building

We will be making twin size tied quilts, as this is a need listed on the church's humanitarian website. We will need to decide whether to send them directly to a community that has been hit by storms, or to our church humanitarian department. We will also be talking about the kind of service we would like to do in the future. We will need donations of fabric, batting, and yarn. We also need to borrow some quilting frames. You could also bring 9-inch square fabric scraps for rag quilts that we are planning to make for our September 13 service project for the Kpong branch in Ghana. Please write a little something about the fabric such as what it was used for and why it is special to you. If you have questions about this, contact Virginia Brison. Please reply as to whether you can donate materials and if you can be there on June 26.

***Quilt guidelines from the church humanitarian website: Quilts Sizes: All sizes are approximate; crib: 45" x 60", single: 72" x 90", double 90" x 96"
Use preshrunk, durable fabrics. To tie the quilts, use acrylic yarn, number 10 knit Cro-sheen™, or similar strong thread. Tie with a square knot or international stitch; make ties 3 to 4 inches apart.
