Memory Quilt for Dan: Several members of the congregation would like to put together a Memory Quilt for Dan as a gift from all of us. Obviously, it was not ready for the gathering on the 28th but will be presented at some future date. We are asking that all who are interested contribute a square of fabric, no smaller than 6 by 6 and up to 12 by 12 inches in size which will convert to squares and incorporate them into a random quilt for Dan. The fabric can be new material that reminds you of him or, even a piece of clothing or used material that has a special meaning. Cotton fabric would be best for this purpose. A basket will be available on Sundays through September for collection and there will be plain muslin squares for everyone to sign with a fabric pen at a table on Sundays as well for us to add to our quilt. We hope that many will participate in this labor of love. When we have finished putting the quilt together, it will be displayed at Allerton Hall before we present it to Dan.
