Tabitha's Peaceful Piecemakers was created to respond to the needs of the children of the Sunshine Center for Street Kids, Kiev, Ukraine. The First Presbyterian Church of Ellensburg has supported the Sunshine Center for several years, but in 2008 we decided to give each child something of lasting value that would be uniquely theirs -- a handmade quilt, made by our own quiltmaking sewing group. In March, 2009, 34 quilts were blessed by our congregation and sent to Kiev. There's more about the center and our mission on the church's home page.
The group is now also making quilts for new babies in our church, lap quilts for the elderly, and there are new projects on the horizon.
Tabitha Peaceful Piecemakers meets every Wednesday for six hours. The church fellowship hall is transformed into a sewing center for about 25 quilters and our group is growing. Here are some photos of our group at work.
