St. Andrew "Fabric-ates" Some Love

St. Andrew is stitch happy! We’re dedicating 24 hand made quilts and 90 baby blankets at tomorrow’s worship services, 8:30 & 10:45 am. The quilts were made by more than 15 people and the blankets knitted by an unknown number of folks who worked for over 500 hours to craft these labors of love. The quilts will be distributed by Lutheran World Relief through their emergency response team to people in need. They are often used, not only for warmth, but as shelter, a pillow, a sling, a sack, or a tent. The baby blankets will be donated to Project Linus (http://www.blankiedepo.org/) and an area hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.


Check out Lutheran World Relief’s web site for all the good things they do and what happens to the quilts they receive. http://www.lwr.org/beinvolved/quilts.asp

Come see what a colorful patchwork of love is decorating our sanctuary!
