MAY/JUNE QUILT RAFFLE
Have you been to Hawaii? Our May/June 2025 raffle quilt has! “Postcards from Hawaii” was made with fabric purchased in Maui, Hawaii, and flown back to Idaho for our memories of the islands. The fabric was donated by Deb Dietz and Linda Smith, pieced by Kathy Schnabel, and quilted by Eileen Allen. This bright and colorful quilt inspires the recollections of the garden lover and surfer dude as it invokes Maui at its best. Raffle tickets are $5.00 each and benefit homeless missions locally.
The quilter's summer schedule:
June 12, 2025 at 9am
June 26, 2025 at 9am (Closet Cleanout work day)
July 10, 2025 at 9 am
August 7, 2025 at 9 am
The quilters will resume their once a week schedule in September.
They are always looking for new folks to join them. No experience necessary and there are a variety of jobs and skills needed. Please contact Kathy Schnabel at (909)703-7444 for more information.
Celebrating 20 years
of Lutheran World Relief
quilting at Zion
This congregation has a history of quilting bees in the past when quilts were made for fundraisers or to honor special people of the congregation, but in 1999, Hilma Ronfeld and Betty Lubcke decided to form a group to make quilts for the Lutheran World Relief. From this small group of women in 1999, the current quilters have grown in numbers to over 30 participants. 8739 quilts have been shipped and will have nearly 600 to ship this year.
In 2010, it was decided to expand the ministry under the supervision to Joann Adamson, by making raffle quilts to benefit our local homeless shelters. Since that time, $20,000 has been given. We have had tremendous support from the congregation and the community with both monetary and fabric donations. Boxes just show up at the back door. All of this has been accomplished by the grace of God. Zion has been Blessed!
