Quilters Needed!
Here at Newman Center we have a tradition of giving prayer quilts to parishioners who are ill, babies baptized at Newman, longtime members who move away, those who have lost a loved one, etc.
​
We are currently running low on quilts.
​
If you are a talented quilter consider helping in this ministry. Quilts are small, generally less than 42 inches wide.
We prefer to use cotton fabric, not fleece, and quilts are machine quilted, not tied. If you have unused cotton fabric at home, consider donating it. And of course, if you only dream of making quilts but don’t sew, monetary donations are welcome to offset the price of batting, thread, and fabric. Prayer quilts will be blessed during Mass on April 19. Thanks to the talented quilt makers; we always look forward to seeing these creations.
