Akutan Quilt

We are very excited about an upcoming ministry at Safe Harbor Church. A three week quilting class featuring the "Akutan Quilt" will be taught here in September. Margo's love for quilting, the generosity of her quilting teacher, Kitty Sorgen and quilting friend Carol Herbert from Friday Harbor and God's provision have made this event possible. Kitty and Carol will arrive in Akutan on September 7. You can read about Kitty's mission trip to Kenya last year to teach women in Mashaka how to support their families through the art of quilting. Please click on the link at the right of this post to read about Kitty's Missions trip. When you get there view the video by clicking on Oasis Africa -Mashaka to see Kitty in action.
Our prayer is that the women of Akutan and Trident will not only end up with a beautiful quilt but that their lives will be impacted by the love of Jesus and the lives of these amazing Christian women. We appreciate your prayers.
The quilt was designed by Kitty and sewn by Kitty and Carol. All the fabrics and sewing kits for the ladies have been donated by the gals in the Rain Shadow Quilting Arts Guild in Friday Harbor. The batting has been donated by Elsie Campbell.
