We also do Lutheran World Relief quilts. Each year we set a goal for tied quilts. We have one gentleman who cuts squares and rectangles from coordinating sheets obtained from a local thrift store. Another woman sews the blocks, and two women tie the quilts. We also usually have 2 to 4 women who handquilt a top sewed by one of the piecers in our group. We sell this handquilted quilt at a silent action at our community soup supper, and raffle another hand quilted quilt at our chili supper each year. We use the funds from these to buy batting and supplies for our LWR quilts. Our small congregation has been very supportive. We have also received donated fabric. We meet once a week from 10-3 and bring a lunch. We love the fellowship, laughter, and time spent together as much as we love the quilts and the process. My recommendation is to let individuals do what they enjoy—and have fun!
