Outreach
Threads of Connection, an outreach of SISTER Connection, provides an opportunity for SISTER participants and any interested woman, to learn basic sewing techniques and give back to her community. Projects include children’s quilts and fleece blankets, tote bags, adult lap quilts and pet beds (filled with all scraps and trimmings). Some projects require no sewing.
Finished items are donated to Project Linus, Gospel Rescue Mission, low income nursing homes, pet sanctuaries and other ministries in need. In 2019, Threads of Connection donated 70 children’s quilts and 50 pet beds. We also partnered with a local church to provide 110 small, fabric baskets with hygiene items and a gift card given to residents at a Tucson low income nursing home. This year, one of our projects, is to provide that same nursing home with a lap quilt for each resident.
Threads of Connection brings opportunities for giving and receiving by all who participate. Enfolded within each stitch will be a story and the connection of women from all backgrounds reaching out to one another and their community.
“He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings
you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your
shield and rampart.” (Psalm 91:4)
Project Linus
