This picture shows just a few of the 45 assorted quilts that Orphan Grain Train Phoenix received from the Saving Grace Lutheran Church Quilt Mission. Saving Grace Lutheran Church is located in Queen Creek, AZ, about 50 miles from the Phoenix warehouse. Karalee Morris, one of the Quilting Mission members reported, to the Phoenix Branch, that there are about 12-13 women in the group. The women meet on Tuesday mornings. The ladies will cut the fabrics for the tops and sew them at their homes. When the tops are completed, the women gather at the church and match backings and batting. Most of the quilts are finished with hems and some with bindings. One member will occasionally use her long arm for quilting. Like many quilting groups they come to tie knots and enjoy the fellowship of their mission. Much of their funding comes from Thrivent Action Team Cards.
