a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; Ecclesiastes 3:6-8
Our St Mary Quilters are an active and vibrant part of the St Mary community. The group has seen many members come and go through its 100 years of service.
Quilters meet Mondays and Thursdays 2:00pm til 6:00pm in the Social hall below the church. Come for an hour or stay all day. Bring your lunch and share a few good stories.
Call Paula Korson 231-590-1152 for consignment work, repairs or to have custom made quilt. Watch the bulletin to find out when the group will hold it’s weekly essions of sewing and sharing.
The quilts shown here reflect the work these ladies do all year round. The quilts are on display, are for sale and are part of their raffle at the Annual Quilt and Raffle Show on Labor Day Weekend, as well as at the Port Oneida Days Fair during the summer.
Proceeds from the quilters benefit St Mary Parish and School. As an example, one year’s annual donations and sales generated $4,981.00. The money was used for technology at the school, computers and software for the whole campus and many other areas. We are so grateful for their generosity of Time, Talents and Treasures.
The quilters also accept jobs on consignment as well as make repairs to family heirlooms.
They graciously accept donations of embroidered squares, quilt tops, fabric, needles, thread,batting and other materials. Do you have a quilt top ready for construction? Please call Paula Korson to see where you might offer help.
