Quilting, Etc. With Love

Bound, Stitched, Mended, and Sewn…..these are more than just words of the trade for the Quilting, Etc. With Love Group from Hiland Park Baptist Church. These quilters make more than beautiful, warm quilts for the Homebound Ministry, Pregnancy Center, and Anchorage Children’s Home. They make a lasting commitment to Christ and to one another. They “bind” themselves in prayer before and during the meetings. Then, amid the whir of several machines, they cut, stitch, sew and label. Their mission is clear…..to make sure each recipient of a quilt is “wrapped” in the Love, Comfort, and Care of Christ!

Meeting every Thursday from 6-9pm in the Women’s Ministry House, the quilters use a method of strip quilting called Quilt In A Day. No previous experience with quilting is necessary and a quilt can be pieced together in about 5 hours. Much of the fabric and other supplies like batting has been donated to the group, but quilters can furnish their own material.

Lorie Black and Tammy Trappe began this particular ministry in February 2001. Since that time, they and the group have made and donated 175 quilts. The group has multiplied in numbers over the years and so has their purpose. What an awesome testament to the ladies and to our Lord who so abundantly provides!

Come join the group. Pros and novices alike are invited to join at any time. “SEW” what? Sew a quilt and give the everlasting “warmth” and “comfort” of God’s love!

Actions speak louder than words:
“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:18 KJV
THANK YOU, Quilters!
