• April writing “Jesus Love Me” in Russian on the back of Baby quilts for Russia. Cutting out adult baby bibs for the homes.
• Linda cutting out baby bibs for the homes.

• Monica, steadily working on Jeff’s quilt that will bring in $100.00 to pay for the rest of the curtain project at JOY Camp.
• Ella keeping Dolly occupied.
• Willa present projects that we can do for the homes plus designing and making walker bags with a cheerful spirit.

Below, please see me with a fun project. Rosemary, from the “You are loved Doll Ministry” donated these cute little Monster Dolls that need to be dressed.  For those of you who do not sew, we could use some dressing done. May made all the monster clothes through out the year and now we get to use them. Thanks May
