The Artesian First Lutheran Quilters met on Tuesday, March 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the church with nine quilters present.
Those attending were Joyce Olson, Judi Larson, Jean Wormstadt, Deanna Dean, Terry Moore, Jane Martin, Ayla Moe, Jaslyn Swearingen and Judy Wormstadt.
The main focus for the evening was cutting out the fabric pieces for the Lutheran Outdoors quilt that the group is making.  Jaslyn and Ayla worked on their baby quilts and arranged blocks for a large quilt and the group tied another quilt. Judy Wormstadt led devotions titled “His Hands” and shared prayer mix with everyone.  The gals enjoyed lunch and fellowship together.
