Pictured above are members of the Heavenly Quilters of Stephentown, (l-r) Louise Shuttleworth of Hinsdale, MA., Ellen Vosburgh of West Sand Lake and Elizabeth Southard of Stephentown, as they put the final touches and labels on twenty-five twin sized quilts that will be delivered to the St. Catherine’s Center for Children in Albany, NY. The group took on this project through “Project Linus” and began working on the quilts last spring. As the last of the labels were sewn on, they breathed a sigh of contentment and had great feelings in knowing they were finished and ready for some young person to have as their own.
The Heavenly Quilters meet at the Federated Church parlors every Tuesday morning from 9 to 11 am to work on their own projects along with doing “cuddle quilts” for many different organizations who desire and need quilts. So far this year, over 100 cuddle quilts have been donated to Project Linus and also to the Veterans Home in Pittsfield, MA.
