The Quilting Ministry of Manahawkin Baptist Church, New Jersey call themselves the Sewing Sisters. Our town is very close to the beach.

We have been meeting for many years off and on and some of our women are involved in a summer sewing camp for the girls at church eight and older.

In 2011 I was asked by a mom to start a sewing group for young girls. Sewing seems to have skipped a generation. After much prayer and trepidation, a one week summer camp for girls ages eight to 16 was formed. Many of my sewing friends said “Yes” and volunteered as leaders. Over the past 11 years we have made quilts using charm squares, a rag quilt and a recently a race quilt. Along with many cool items the girls like to wear, use or give away.

In 2018 I invited the ladies in our church to join me in a mystery quilt class. About 11 ladies responded.

We Sewing Sisters enjoy sewing charity quilts, nursing home bags, pillowcases for cancer patients, craft items to sell to raise money for missions at our church and other fun projects.

Our ladies have a strong bond of love. We share devotions and pray with and for each other as life throws troubles our way. God is faithful in all our circumstances. He has truly blessed our ministry.

The Quilt Guild of Metro Detroit is a traditional quilt guild but have a wide variety of talent amongst us. Normally we meet at a church in Harper woods, Michigan, but yet again due to Covid we are meeting exclusively digital.

Each month we usually feature speakers from all over, and we hold a retreat once a year, and a quilt show every other year. This year, as all of the above have been canceled – we are trying to get more hands-on. So we are going to be doing your BOM, as well as offering a mystery quilt and a few member-led workshops.

Our El Campo Casual Quilt Guild, in El Campo, Texas, started with a group of 10 women making baby quilts in the 1990s. In 2005 they formed a quilt guild. They met at the Boys & Girls Club during the school year. Then at a building called the Northside Center during the summer months where we still meet. We currently have 38 members. We meet the first Wednesday of each month.

Each year we make two quilts and raffle them off. This money is used to buy supplies for the items we make and donate. We call ourselves the Casual Quilters because we do not have strict rules. Our main purpose is to have fun while we quilt!
