The "Terrace Tiers" team with "Lydia's Piecemakers"
Sheltered Care Residents are partnering with Lydia's Piecemakers of St. Mark's Lutheran Church to tie quilts for Lutheran World Relief. Lydia's Piecemakers bring assembled quilt squares sewn to a backing for our residents to tie the layers together to finish the 5-step process. These quilts of love are then given to Lutheran World Relief to distribute to refugees and other people in need for warmth or shade from the sun.
This on-going partnership with Lydia's Piecemakers and the "Terrace Tiers" is made possible through Jean Neupert of Lydia's group and her mother Vivian O., our resident. The project can use donations of recycled good clothing, fabric pieces or pillow cases for quilt squares; good used blankets, mattress pads, comforters, bed spreads or throws for filler; and good used sheets ( any size ) for the backing. Donations may be brought to the Jennings Terrace business office.
Jennings respectfully thanks
