Six ambitious gals met on Wednesday, Jan. 3, at 6:30 p.m. at Artesian First Lutheran to start the New Year off with some quilting fun. Seven quilts were tied and the edges pinned for finishing, and blocks were arranged for five quilt tops.

Devotions from the book “What I learned from God While Quilting” and the Lord’s Prayer were shared. Terry Moore, Judi Larson and Judy Wormstadt brought goodies for lunch. Others attending were: Wanda Effling, Deanna Dean and Gwen Effling.

Jane Marten provided the group with 50 sheets and numerous pillowcases that she had dyed for use as quilt backs and blocks. Jerolyn Dean stopped by the church and took fabric home to cut blocks and sew quilt tops. It was a very productive evening, and the fellowship was great.

Anyone is welcome to attend. Just let one of the gals know if you would be interested in attending.
