Lakeville United Methodist Quilting History

We started our mission in 1993 and our first blankets were given to the Mississippi river flood victims in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

We have made and distributed two thousand five hundred and ten blankets and four hundred and thirty two pillows to missions in U.N. sanctioned Bosnia, Croatia, Rwanda, Ghana and Laire, Africa, Azerbayan, Armenia, Girana, Albania, Kowsovo, Guatemala, North Korea, Liberia, West Africa for refugees from the Sierra Leone Civil War area, Haiti and Honduras.

We have sent blankets to the Ohio, Mississippi and Southern Indiana flood disaster areas.  We support Lucille Raines Home in Indianapolis, the Bashor Children’s Home in Goshen and Red Bird Mission in Beverly, Kentucky.

In our local area we support the Homeless Center, Hope Rescue Mission, Battered Women’s Shelter, Broadway Life Treatment Center, Group homes, Nursing homes, Unwed Mother’s Program, Neighborhood and Women’s Care Centers, Angel Tree Missions program, Hospice House and home bound AIDS patients, B.A.B.E. program for expectant mothers, AT-RISK-BABIES.  These babies are born drug affected, test positive H.I.V. or are abandoned and in foster care, fire loss families and needy families in need of a blanket or pillow. 

We make crafts and blankets for our annual Harvest Festival.

Women are custom quilting every Monday to support our sewing mission projects.  They have custom quilted forty-seven quilts.

We make disposable bed pads for the United Cancer Society and stuffed toys for hospitalized children. 

Also, we roll bandages and they are taken to Marian Missions Storehouse.  They are used in Methodist Missions where needed.
