Change is difficult! Nothing you did not know, but it just needed saying . The Quilters at First said good bye to Rev. Rebecca Goltry-Mohr yesterday. Rev. Rebecca has been the Associate Ministry at First United Methodist Church for seven years and one of the greatest supporters of our Quilt Sale and on-line sales. In the Methodist Church the appointments are not for life—and we were lucky to have her with us seven years. True, we had to educate her about the Quilt Sale but she was a quick learner and she probably has more quilts in her home than the average 30 year old!
We gifted her with a “gift certificate” –so she could pick out what she wanted either at the sale or on-line. And gift certificate was a sneaky way to make sure she would come see us at the sale in October—shhh, that is our secret.
We wish her the best in her new chapter of learning and serving. We are happy she will get to spend more time with her two daughters at this stage of their childhood. Our hearts of full of gratitude for all she gave to our church and the community. But, gosh, we are going to miss her smile! And to our new in-coming associate minister, give us some time to adapt to the change–we will embrace you and your family– but know you have some mighty big shoes to fill!

Pennants add a festive mood to a party–for a birthday, new home, graduation, baby shower—what ever the occasion. The fabric ones may be used over and over.

I share an opinion with my daughter that all I need to be organized is the right containers. These little “thread” catchers help organize your sewing space or your office or the bed side table. Only $10 each
You do realize that Christmas is only 6 months away, don’t you?–well, five if you start decorating your home the end of November! This 55″ x 61″ lap quilt has an old fashioned “yuletide” or perhaps Victorian feel. It is machine quilted and hand bound on a cotton/polyster batting. The backing is the from the same fabric line. $125
And if you are looking for a gift and not sure what to give–we will make-up a gift certificate in any amount for use at the sale or on-line. And thanks for helping deal with changes…..
