 The group is always busy making items such as baby
blankets that they donate to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital
Maternity Ward. Right now they have shifted their focus to creating
an item that is needed in our local health care facilities. The
group is making face masks. To date they have manufactured more than
700 masks.
The masks have gone to ALMH and also to St. Clara’s Rehab and Senior
Care and Christian Village.
Recently, they expanded their outreach and donated masks to the
local post office and also to the staff at the Lincoln Aldi Food
Store.

This week, the group set up a table in their work space and provided
the masks to residents at Friendship Manor. The tables were
separated with a selection of ‘girly’ fabrics for the ladies and
something a little more conservative for the guys.
The group has had some help with this project. Stacie Wachtel, who
in the past was a wholesale representative to quilt shops, recently
donated a lot of her fabric samples to the Manor. In addition,
Friendship Manor is partnering with the group to help cover
additional costs for the masks.
Thanks to the Friendship Manor Quilters who are providing a lot of
really nice, reusable masks for our community.
