Today, the MSP Quilting Angels welcomed two new members – Kendra from Hagerstown and Rachel from Rockville!
Welcome Ladies to the Angels.
The ladies that join us and those that are already members have vastly different skill levels – from beginner to advanced, yet we all share one common goal – helping others.
The MSP Quilting Angels provides quilts for two worthy organizations – Quilts of Valor and Quilts for Kids. The Quilts of Valor are delivered to our VA hospital in Baltimore and the Quilts for Kids are delivered through the Candlelighters during the Annual Tree Lighting Event held in Washington, DC.
Kendra, an advanced quilter (and longarmer too!) is interested in forming a group in her hometown and is helping the Angels comfort soldiers and kids with cancer. Rachel, a new quilter, is learning pattern selection, design and basic quilting skills.
Though is may seem odd to some readers, both Kendra and Rachel share a common bond – helping others. Irrespective of your skill level, whether you join in locally or create the Block of the Month, it is one thing to join UP, but the most important thing you can do is JOIN IN.
In 2004, Suzanne Wade and Kathy Adams (pictured above), together founded the MSP Quilting Angels – a party of two. In the beginning, there were many needs and a few but growing number of quilters. They built the group, delivered numerous quilts to many organizations. Upon this foundation, the MSP Quilting Angels have gone on to deliver hundreds of quilts, to several organizations, been recognized by national organizations for service and partnered with others across the nation to create heirloom quilts from donated blocks.
What made the difference? Not merely the number of those that joined, but those that joined in the fun of a community working together.
When is the next meeting? August 1, 2009.
The question is….will someone Join up or will they Join IN?
Quilt On!
