When: Sunday, October 11, 2009 Who: Anyone who can tie a knot, women, men and teens Where: Down in the sewing room at St. John Lutheran Church What to Expect: Finish off quilts for the Cabrini Mission in Detroit. Our goal is 200 by the first week of December. We are working with St. Cyril and St. Mark church and already have 50 completed. These will be handed out with Christmas food baskets. The Cabrini Mission is like our Samaritan House. We will do some for children also. Plan on laughing, fellowship, saying a prayer over a quilt, and knowing you are helping those less fortunate. It’s a way to give back without opening your wallet. What to Bring: A gently used flat sheet, they will be used to back the quilts. Regular quilting days at St. John are first Wednesday of the month from 9am -12pm and the second Tuesday of the month from 9am-3pm. Quilting day at St. Cyril (18 and Ryan) is the 4th Saturday of every month.
