Share your Congo Cloth Connection project

"Every Stitch a Prayer" wants to know what YOU made with your Congo Cloth. Here are some examples. Send us yours! We would like a photo or two as well as the ways your found yourself thinking and praying about Congo connections along the way.

Nancy Myer (Kern Road Mennonite Church, South Bend, IN) had the eye for this cloth and used its pattern as the back of a simple jacket pattern. It reminded her of the jacket she bought years ago of Congo cloth.



Christine Nofsinger (Florence Church of the Brethren Mennonite, Constantine, MI) made a quilt in the Chinese Coins pattern for Tim and Suzanne Lind.



Chris also made "robes" in the form of aprons from a Congo cloth pattern that centers on the names of Jesus. The Florence men's choir was all smiles.



Suzanne Lind (Florence) with the help of Christine Nofsinger made comforters for her twin grandchildren, Amari and Desmond, who were born in Congo and adopted to live in Goshen with parents David and Kendra Lind. The fish patterned cloth was made by our friend Mama Kadi of Kinshasa, DR Congo.







Naomi Wenger (Florence) made a pleated skirt from a print with a border for her daughter, Emily.





Nina Lanctot (Florence) is making a comforter for her first grandchild. It includes cloth from Congo, Cambodia and Costa Rica, reflecting family and church ties. It needs to be knotted by May 22-- Lily's first birthday!
