One of our finished quilts!

This quilt was made by Mother Janice Williams, a Bible teacher from Deliverance Church. Mother Williams began to get an idea for the design of her quilt. She said, “I want to use bright, happy colors! I love the joy of yellow—it is my favorite color.” She began working on her own design and we all decided that it looked like Joseph’s coat of many colors. She completed the design for the top quilt and had sewn it together.

Mother Williams was a widow who lived alone. She was in Stage 4 Cancer when she joined our free quilting class, which is held every Thursday afternoon. While Mother Williams was able to attend the class, she spent many happy days sharing stories and just spending good times in fellowship. One of our Pastors, Janice Blackmon aided her at this difficult time, moving in with her to encourage her and help her in home hospice car.

While Mother Williams has gone on now to be with the Lord we are still being blessed by her quilt. We all decided that we would finish her quilt and pass it on to someone who would appreciate the work she put in it. We raffled the quilt during our annual Community Day, 2015.
