April 27, 2020 A Letter from Joyce

GOOD AFTERNOON

Good afternoon ladies.  What a beautiful day. 

I just thought I needed to pop in and tell you how much I miss each one of you and how much I appreciate each one of you.  Sometime soon I think we will be able to meet together.  We probably won’t get much done on the quilts the first time.  We just need time to catch up with one another.

Some of us enjoyed our Zoom night together on April 28^th.  Our next Zoom night is May 12^th at 7:15-8:15.  Put that on your calendar.

Many of you have helped to continue to make quilts.  Yesterday I counted….we have 20 quilts that are all done…. 16 that are done and just need the ties….6 are out getting the binding sewed…..8 need pinning….and 6 are in the process of sewing……total is 56 quilts….amazing.  I was hoping for around 56 so we got there.  We have around 16 on our list to give quilts to so we will be busy for the summer.  I was hoping that by fall that we could give to the firemen.  With your continued faithfulness that will be possible.

Remember  no matter what you do to make our Prayer Quilts a continued mission……….EVERY step is important…….but most of all the prayers……may we continue to pray for one another.

God loves you and so do I.

Joyce

Every day brings a choice: to practice stress

Or to practice peace.

April 7 2020. More Covid19 news..

As we are unable to gather to quilt together we decided to do a Zoom meeting; some of us old gals had a bit of a challenge but were able to make it work!  So good to see your faces, hear your laughs and comments (even though everyone wanted to talk at the same time!

Decided to make it a recurring event until we can finally get back together and back to work!

Joyce is still working hard to supply the hospital and health care workers with masks; and now isolation gowns!  Someday she will run out of supplies (elastic, bias tape, fabric...) but she will never run out of energy!

Bless you all my quilting friends!
