Shepherd of the Prairie invites quilters to join group

The Prairie Pointe Quilters at Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church in Huntley have already begun their annual ministry of creating custom quilts to give to others for comfort in their time of need.

“We’ve already created 15 new quilts and welcome new members to join our quilting ministry,” says Bev Kenny, coordinator of the Prairie Pointe Quilters. “Knowing how to quilt is not a requirement for anyone to join. We encourage others to learn and enjoy fellowship together. We joyfully would like to see new faces to help us create amazing quilts given to others.”

The group meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 9:00am at the church. It also welcomes donations of any size of flat sheets to be used for the backing of quilts.

“We are proud of all of the unique, colorful, and beautiful quilts we have created in the past,” says Kenny,“but most of all, we hope to make a difference in comforting someone's life."

To support the project, SOTP members are generous in filling a “quarter jar” on display at the church with monetary donations to help the quilt ministry. The Prairie Pointe Quilters, as well as the prayer shawl ministry, are always in need of yarn or fabrics for their projects. Donations can be dropped off at Shepherd of the Prairie Lutheran Church.
