Making a difference - one quilt at a time.
The women of Hebron gather each Wednesday at 9:30 A.M. to quilt, sew, and fellowship. Started approximately twenty years ago, the group meets year-round, often breaking for a couple of months during the summer. Typically, there are eight to ten women at the weekly quilting sessions. The Hebron quilting group is part of the larger organization, Women of the ELCA. Each year, approximately thirty quilts are lovingly crafted at Hebron. During the fall, our church has a Blessing of the Quilts service where all of the quilts are displayed inside of the church. Subsequently, the quilts are donated to families in need in the Appalachia area.
All quilting skill levels are welcome!
