EARTH ANGELS

 

             Women who are interested in quilting make up a group called Earth Angels.  The group began as a result of 9-11-01 when 3 quilts were sent to a family of a New York woman killed in that tragedy.  They meet the first Thursday of each month either at FUMC or at someone’s home.

             A typical meeting involves a devotional or inspirational reading followed by mentioning any person who may be in need of prayers or may be in need of being “wrapped in love” by the presentation of a quilt.  Members share ideas & any quilts they have recently made.

             Activities of the group include: making baby quilts, making quilts & pillowcases for Norma’s House, making quilts to be used as fundraisers for area groups, going on field trips to quilt shows & quilt shops, learning about quilting tips & techniques, and going on quilting retreats.

             Several quilts were presented in March and April with an ongoing project of designing quilts to be presented to wounded soldiers in San Antonio as a symbol of our gratitude for their service & sacrifices while protecting our nation.

             Anyone, young or old, from beginner to advanced level, regardless of religious affiliation, is invited to join Earth Angels.  A good time of fellowship is guaranteed.
