We are a group of women from Plymouth Church in downtown Seattle who make quilts for others. Recipients are companions at Plymouth Healing Communities, high school seniors in our youth group, and new babies at our church.

november 08 meeting
show and tell
A small group of us gathered at Diane’s house. There were nine boxes of giveaway fabric on table tops in Diane’s dining room and living room.
During the meeting Diane had two major projects to show us—a blue quilt featuring Don Baker’s new collection and a remarkable quilt she has been making for her sister (see three photos) that will be finished by Christmas.
Harriet brought two impressive projects. One is for Plymouth--for either a youth or a Healing Communities companion, and one is for her home. The lavender quilt is actually a back!
Patricia brought a doll quilt in blue and white that she made for a three-year old friend.
Flora brought Maurine a home-made heating pad with straps. Diane gave the rice-filled tube a quick blast in the microwave so Maurine could try it out on her lower back.
The last photo is Flora with a large shopping bag. Flora, Harriet, myself and Janet all hauled bags and boxes of fabric home. Diane daintily picked out a few choice pieces. And Maurine, who donated most of the fabric, didn't need any of it back at her condo. When the evening was over, only three boxes of fabric were left.
