YSA Quilt Project

Over fifty completed quilts!

Elder Wahlquist, Stefan, Elena, Ioana, Ioana, Gabi and Sora Wahlquist

In September the YSA in the Bucuresti Center for Young Adults began a service project to make lap quilts.  Boxes of fabric were donated from friends and family back home for the project.  Because none of our YSA had ever quilted or even used a sewing machine before we were pleased with how quickly they learned the steps to complete a quilt.

Completing 50 plus quilts was definitely a group effort.

The quilts all found good homes.

Several were taken to a home for abandoned children.

We were not allowed to take their pictures, but the children were excited about picking out their very own quilt. 

Elder and Sora Wolsey took quilts to a senior facility.

They were all impressed with the pretty quilts made by young people.

Several of the quilts were given to members with special needs and we were not able to get pictures.  We are so grateful for all the work that the YSA did to make this project a success.  Many lives were touched by their service.  Multumim!

And thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who sent fabric for this project.  We could not have done it without you.
