May 13 was our Quilt Dedication Day, when we displayed the 9 blankets we made this winter, in which 8 will be donated to 2 Regina Lutheran churches for their fall clothing giveaways, and one will be given to Camp Lutherland for its silent auction fundraiser in the fall. Many thanks to all who donated, sewed, ironed, pinned, tied and organized. Hope to see you back next January, and more are welcomed! S T.
