We dedicated this Akutan Quilt Project to God and asked Him to be the center of all we do for the next three weeks. Having Kitty and Carol here is such a blessing and we are grateful for their generosity in coming as well as the generosity of all those who contributed fabric, batting, supplies and air miles to make this ministry possible.
Kitty and Carol recognize that this project is about much more than quilts and our prayer is that these quilts and the interaction with these women will be used of God in the lives of many in Akutan.
We had a "Patchwork Tea" for the ladies of the village and Trident to introduce them to Kitty and Carol as well as the Akutan Quilting Project.
The school children are coming for a sewing class three days a week and enjoying Kitty's enthusiastic teaching. She got them excited about making their own fabric on the first day.
Kristy sewing strips together for her first block. The week started out slowly because of work schedules but by the end of the week 18 people had begun quilts.
Lydia cutting strips from some of the donated fabric. We are still missing fabric that has yet to arrive via the mail plane. We are praying that the weather will lift soon so the "Goose" can fly. It's been over a week since a plane has landed in Akutan.
