Attention Quilters!!
The Lutheran World Relief Quilt tops need to be finished and turned into the church by mid/late August.
Tying the quilts will be one of the projects during the God’s Work Our Hands week, the first part of
September. We need the tops so we can get backs and batting ready for ‘Our Hands’ to tie the quilts. There
are additional packets to be sewn. There is still time for those to be sewn and ready for tying. Thanks to
everyone that helps with this project that serves so many. —Carolyn and Kayann
