That, in itself, is a lovely demonstration of the power of unity, coupled with a commitment to service.
At the end of the quilt-a-thon, Cris Crawford, coordinator of The Power of the Quilt Project, tallied up all the efforts of our 22 volunteers, and more than 20 quilts were worked on! Congratulations to all!
As mentioned in the previous blog, a dozen comfort quilts were completed that day and are now ready for distribution to those in need.

Vickie Karian, longtime volunteer, finished two quilts with machine stitching during the quilt-a-thon. She kindly took several quilts home that will need her finishing touch -- either by machine stitching or hand-tying the quilts.
Then, she'll bring those completed quilts to the church where other volunteers will sew on a special label by hand. It is at this point that the quilts are truly "finished" and ready for distribution.

I enjoyed participating in the Quiltathon today after not having done so for quite awhile, though I have participated many times in the past. But I am afraid I cannot be classified as a UUAC newcomer since I have been attending this church since the late 60's. Barbie Breer
