QUILT OF FAITH MADE POSSIBLE BY MANY HANDS 

Well, the Quilt of Faith is now finished.  

An idea is born . . .
Back in March 2003, Elsie Rose and Cindy Hannah championed the idea that we could make a quilt that graphically represent the contributor’s concept of how, despite our diversity, we all come together in the community of Faith.

Many months in the making . . .
It took several months for the 29 squares of cloth to come together.  In June 2004, Rosemary Webster, Linda Grosvenor, and Betty Stanley, got together at Linda Grosvenor’s home to layout the design of the quilt and prepare the pieces for sewing. It was a formidable job as each square was slightly different in size and several had to be re-engineered to fit the overall design.  Linda then proceeded to sew the squares together. 

Following that, Elsie, Rosemary, Linda, Betty, and Alice McGinnis met several Saturdays in August of 2004 to tack the quilt.  Elsie provided the rack, the blocking, and the backing material.  Once the tacking was complete, Elsie hemmed the edges and Rosemary attached the hanging loops at the top of the quilt.

For all to see . . . The Quilt of Faith is now displayed in the hallway outside the Church Parlor.
