   Twice each year the Peace Lutheran Quilters pack and send quilts to Lutheran World Relief. The quilts are in great demand due to the Haiti Relief efforts. Our spring shipment of 161 quilts was blessed in church on Sunday, April 25th, packed and taken to Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church, Seattle. Redeemer is the collection point for western Washington. From there the quilts are shipped to “Project Comfort” in Baltimore MD and then overseas. The cost to LWR to pack and ship one quilt is approximately $2.25. The ladies have made bags for school kits and are now seeking donations of supplies to fill the bags so that they may be included in the fall shipment which is scheduled for October 22nd.

   The Peace Quilters are very thankful to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for their generous grant of $600 to help purchase fabrics and supplies used in making the quilts.
