Feb. 13th our church had a blessing of the quilts (and booties, bibs, walker bags etc) that our quilt group donates locally. I thought you might like to see a couple of the pictures, if I can manage it.

I'm not sure how many were in the church...everything was covered, but we have a total of 300 to distribute this coming week.

And I have entered three more pictures that show some of the bibs, huggin babies, walker bags etc.

On the back of our quilts,& walker bags we put a little label that includes the name of our church and town and state. A week or so ago our pastor got an email from Jacksonville, Fl. from a family that got a walker with one of our walker bags attached. They were so thrilled with the bags that they sent a message to us with their thanks and appreciation. So for whatever reason, this walker and walker bag are on their second blessing. How neat!!

You are right and we are only about 20 plus or minus. We have a couple of older members who stuff the animals and Huggies and some other members who don't sew but they can tie and stuff etc. So we are really a good team that works together for good.

How wonderful! And I like the idea of Yonnika's "pew cozies".

Great idea! It's nice to get the whole congregation involved as possible. So many hands do make light work!
