The first Quilt Till You Wilt (QTYW) was a huge success. Of course, all quilters run on food but the interesting thing about this meeting was all the snack food was healthy... what happened to us over the holidays?
The QTYW began with making the Dollar General lotion for the church's "In Touch" ministry which is a one on one continuing ministry with the shut-ins of the congregation. Batches of the lotion were divided into small containers and would be delivered to the members by their contact person.
A little more snacking....
Then everyone began work on their individual projects whether it be charity quilts or personal projects... a lot of progress was made.
More snacking...
In the afternoon a car load of members went on a short shop hop... they first visited KiwiQuilts located on the county line between Cobb and Paulding counties. A nice shop that was really hopping on a Saturday because another church quilting group was also out sampling the quilt shops. At Kiwi we all seemed to buy something from the clearance table. The next stop was StitchnQuilt in Mableton. They also shopped the clearance corner here. One of our faithful members was in the shop's class, so of course, we had to barge in and say hi.... After a quick meal the four were back at church for more sewing...
A great time was had by all...
