Quilting Bees Galore
by Melanie Tidwell
When arriving at the various meeting places of the Church, you may hear the hum of sewing machines and happy voices as the members of the Singapore Stake come together to meet our goal of constructing 100 quilts to donate to the Jamiyah Children’s Orphanage.
As of this writing, we are half way in completing this project.
Everyone has been very enthusiastic in participating in this worthy endeavor. Special Family Home Evenings have been organized to allow the opportunity for fathers and children to take part in this service.
Recently the fulltime missionaries showed their support and helped tie 2 quilts after their district development meeting.
Again, we invite all members of the Stake young and old, male and female to participate. We suggest that individual families, priesthood quorums, young women’s groups, missionaries, family home evening groups, single adult groups, Seminary and Institute classes, and friends and neighbors volunteer to assemble a quilt or two. Please contact Alice Chiu to arrange for the quilting frames and kits.
