Stunning! Delightful!
When Suzanne Lind visiting the sewing group of College Mennonite Church, Goshen, IN, she fell in love -- again -- with the beauty and creativity of Congo Cloth in the hands of praying women.
Here is the wall hanging that matches the quilt top. Nancy Myer is holding it at a CCC planning meeting.
The wall hanging of Congolese women is simple, beautiful,full of life and gentle vitality.
Joy Hess and Rebecca Sommers have been collaborating with Congo Cloth Connection since last fall. With Joy's lovely designs, the women of College Mennonite Church have been working on a quilt top and a wall hanging to support the project.
As their "Every Stitch a Prayer" project, they are donating both of these for auction at the Mennonite Church USA Assembly in Pittsburgh (July 4-9).
The quilt top will be quilted with prayer during the Assembly.
The wall hanging will arrive already quilted and ready for sale.
We welcome those of you who are planning to come to Pittsburgh to plan some time in quilting, praying, and learning at the Congo Cloth Connection booth. And two of you will take home, after the auction, the handwork of women connecting with women through the US and Congo and the beauty of prayer.
