The Stitchers for Jesus sewing, knitting, crocheting and hatting group. What started out almost ten years ago as a few ladies getting together to make dresses to send to missionaries, has grown to include all these talents. Every time we have added a new dimension to our group, the Lord brings to us a need somewhere. Along with showing us a need, He provides donations such as fabrics and notions, yarns and even monetary gifts. It’s an exciting thing to be a part of this group, to see each month what the members have made with their hands and the love and care behind each item.
At the end of 2024, we added “Hatters” to the group. We make baby hats to send all over the world and to a local ministry here as well. We have sent over 150 baby hats to the Pregnancy Resource Center here in Kerrville, along with many quilts and afghans for babies and children. Recently, we had a request for adult bibs for two local nursing centers. Several of the ladies jumped right on it and before long 92 adult bibs were delivered to these places. As I write this, some of the ladies are helping with the VBS craft for this year by cutting out strips of fabric. These will be used to make wreaths for nursing home residents.
Does any of this sound like something you can do and would like to be involved in? We always need help and new people are always welcome.
