“PRAYERS
& SQUARES” QUILTING MINISTRY
WINS
SEWING MACHINE GIVEAWAY
FOR
“PROJECT LINUS NATIONAL MAKE A BLANKET DAY”
TEMECULA,
CA March 2, 2006—Project Linus National Make a Blanket Day was celebrated Saturday, February 18th at Temecula Valley Sewing Center when Claudia Rose, co-founder and Queen of Fairy Godmother Guild, drew the winning ticket for a *Janome 3050 computerized
sewing machine.
“I’m
thrilled!” remarked Queen Claudia, after she pulled the winning ticket belonging to Prayers & Squares, Prayer Quilt
Ministry of St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church. “We couldn’t have possibly picked a better winner!”
The
Temecula group is a regular contributor to Project Linus blanket drives. Best of all, they are in real need of a new sewing
machine. The 7-member volunteer group meets weekly to fulfill prayer requests by creating a quilt that is later carried to
the altar for the priest’s blessing before parishioners finish off the quilt by tying threads with a prayer. The quilt
is then delivered to the child or adult for whom it was requested so that they are “wrapped in prayers” during
a time of need.
On
Monday, February 27th, five Prayers & Squares members met with Temecula Valley Sewing Center owner, Brian Gottier, and
Queen Claudia of Fairy Godmother Guild** to receive their Janome 3050. Brian gave them a lesson in how to use the machine,
which will replace one of Prayers & Squares older models.
Sewing
machine-maker, *Janome America has teamed up with Project Linus since 2003 to sponsor Project Linus National Make a Blanket
Day every February. Project Linus is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization, which provides security through handmade blankets to traumatized children.
In
less than three weeks, local Janome dealer, Temecula Valley Sewing Center, collected over 70 handmade quilts and blankets
for distribution by Project Linus volunteers. These included 2 knitted blankets by Pauline, a blind woman in her 70’s
and 11 crocheted blankets by 86 year-old Betty, a Wildomar resident.
