WEEKEND FUN

LAST WEEKEND I WENT TO THE CHURCH OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCE TO HELP WITH A GROUP OF WOMEN WHO HAD SKILLS IN MAKING QUILTS FOR THE NEEDY. IN THREE HOURS WE MADE ABOUT 15 QUILTS FROM TOPS OF NAPKINS AND OTHER FABRICS. SOME ALREADY WERE SEWN TOGETHER BY OLDER LADIES THAT HAD SEWING MACHINES. FOUR GALS WORKED ON EACH QUILT AND THERE WERE TWO TABLES. WE PUT BATTING INSIDE EACH QUILT WE DESIGNED WITH VARIOUS SEWN NAPKINS OR FABRIC PIECES. SOME COLORS MATCHED AND SOME DID NOT. THESE WERE WARM QUILTS. SOMETIMES WE DID NOT GET IT PERFECT BUT THAT WAS OK TOO. WE PINNED THE UNDER LAYER TO THE TOP TO MAKE THE QUILTS. AFTER THE OLDER LADIES SEWED THEM WE SEWED THREADS AND YARN ON THE TOPS TO COMPLETE THEM. WE WERE MAKING GOOD COMPANY AND MANY OF US HAD NEVER MET BEFORE. JUST WHEN WE NEEDED MORE BATTING A LADY STEPPED IN AND BROUGHT MORE! IT WAS FUN.
