Today Mollie and I went to the senior center to help tie quilts. We tied 7 of them before we decided to call it a day. There was lots of visiting and laughter. We sure enjoy getting together to tie quilts. A few ladies piece the tops and then we get together to tie them and then a couple of the ladies put the binding on. These quilts go to Boys Ranch Texas. These ladies have been making quilts and taking them to boys ranch since 1964. That's 44 years of making quilts for these kids. Many of the folks who grew up there still have their quilts. They try to make sure every child who comes to the ranch gets a quilt of their own. I think these ladies do a wonderful ministry for these kids. Its good to know someone cares about you and wants you to have something of your own. The ladies are such a blessing.
EDIT apparently we tied 9 quilts yesterday. That's pretty good for two frames and only 3 1/2 hours of work.

What a neat experience! That's one I hadn't even thought of.
