Patchwork Warms Hearts

The Ripley Stitchers are an amazing group. They gather most every Thursday, listed on the Ripley Website Calendar as
“Patchworks Warms Hearts. On the 2nd Saturday they gather to “Soul Stitch”. Both groups get their day started at 9am by
entering through the North door to the Fellowship Hall in the Church Basement.
Setting up sewing machines for quilt tops that need to be stitched, cutting pieces for colorful designs, laying out quilt tops to
match to battings and backs. Sorting quilts by size to go to Cedar Valley Hospice, Black Hawk Veterans, AFIL, Mercy One, Salvation Army, Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown, The Stork’s Nest, and Sleep in Heavenly Peace…..just to name a few of the
recipients of their work!
Not only do they stitch fabric pieces, but they stitch meaning through fellowship. We invite all to pop in, and see what they
are up to. Grab a needle, pull a stitch and bring joy to those who are covered in the warmth of a quilt loving constructed by
the Ripley Stitchers.
