On Sunday, my family and I had the privilege of visiting Rolling Bay Presbyterian Church to receive 13 gorgeous quilts that their Fearless Quilters group made for Katie's Comforters Guild. The Fearless Quilters group is comprised of talented fabric artists who put great detail and love into each one of their creations. This batch of quilts has to be seen and felt to really get the full effect, so I am going to share a lot of photos with you to help you see just how lovely they are.

What a blessing, to receive one of these works of art, filled with love and well-wishes! |
During the worship service, the pastor asked a blessing upon the quilts, and afterward, I gave a talk to the Adult Education class about "the Art of Being a Comforter." It was a pleasure to be among the wonderful, generous people of Rolling Bay.
Heartfelt thanks to Pastor Marty, and especially to
Sally Thompson and Vicky Adkins
and all of the Fearless Quilters,
for sharing your gifts with sick children through our guild.
Those quilts are going to make the recipients very, very happy!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese quilts are AMAZING! So thankful for the work they do on behalf of all the kids out there that need a quilt and a soft hug during a very awful time. Hugs to you, my friend! : )
