Last year, a number of LCBI students helped us tie quilts. This year they came down to help sew buttons on night shirts, night gowns, sweaters and jackets which a number of ladies have sewn for layette items. Here LCBI staff member, Cindi, shows Lindsay how to sew on a button.
Stefie and Desi sew on buttons.
Lindsay hands Alex a shirt to pack in the layette. Each layette has 4 cloth diapers, 2 baby blankets, 2 washcloths, 2 nightshirts, 2 nightgowns, 2 safety pins, and 1 sweater. These are sent to third world countries and given out to young mothers. 
Desi and Stefie pack up a layette for Lutheran World Relief.
Leslie uses her sewing talents to make backs, fillings or tops. Be careful what clothes you leave around her or it might end up in a quilt!
Lila and June make a "sandwich" of a back, a top and a filler in between. Then they pin the edges so it is ready for a sewer.
Jan, Lila, June, Doreen, Carrie Pin more quilts. Oh, Oh, did we quilt Jan's face? Maybe she is just camera shy!!!
Avis, quit bothering Elaine! She needs to hem the quilt so it is ready to be tied!

About 35 layettes were packed up and over 90 quilts were sewn. These will be packed up and sent to Lutheran World Relief to be forwarded to third world countries. We are still working on layettes - we need more receiving blankets and nightgowns. Other items are undershirts and sweaters. These can be brought to the church in the next couple of weeks. We quilt twice a year - one week in the fall and one week in the spring. Come and join us! Not only do we get lots done, but we have fun doing it!
