Memory Quilt Ministry

Over the years since I've started quilting, I've been making memory quilts for people who have lost a loved one.  Each one is different.  Some are made from clothing as a way to remember the one who has died.  Some are just a warm hug to wrap around someone who is grieving.  

These quilts are a ministry of love to bring comfort in a time of loss.  I don't accept money for my time or materials.  It's my way of showing Christ's Love to His people and blessing others with the talents He has given me.
