QUILTS

Last Saturday morning,
well over one hundred ladies of our church 

gathered to tie quilts to be given to humanitarian aid. 

The quilts will be sent wherever there is need

 to help victims recover from disaster.

As they say, “Many hands make light work.”

The quilts were already assembled and bound.

  All that was needed was for them to be tied.  

Within an hour the finished products began to stack up.

Not long after noon forty-five finished quilts were counted. 

We then had to clear out the area for an after-funeral luncheon.  

The unfinished quilts went home with several ladies,

 and by Sunday many were returned completed.

“Though little dangers they may fear,

When greater dangers men environ

The women show a front of iron;

And, gentle in their manner, they

Do bold things in a quiet way.”
