Kristin...I just wanted to let you know that Trinity joined "Junior Sewers and Rippers" this summer at the church. Now you know that Erin and I do not know how to sew, but in two weeks Trinity made 2 quilts,(with the help of our "older" saints).
The quilts were made for the receiving home in Sac. She now wants to save for her own machine and continue to make quilts this summer for those babies. Of course those sweet ladies said they would give her all the fabric and help her all she wanted. Honestly I could not ask for better people for her to learn from, the prayer warriors of the church, who pray over each quilt, and teach the kids the importance of that prayer and serving.
We are greatful.
Love you, Mom
