His Quilters
About Us
About twenty years ago, two ladies from our church heard of a young mother who was trying to keep her newborn baby warm by laying her on a pile of clothes in front of her oven. They decided to get together and make her a warm baby quilt. More volunteers joined the group and soon there were plenty of projects to keep everybody busy. Today, His Quilters with the support of the missions committee are involved in many projects such as making quilts for cancer patients at St. Mary's and Bass hospitals, foster kids, and children who are victims of sexual assault. Fifty quilts have been sent to our mission in the Philippines and many more to wild-fire victims in western Oklahoma. Their biggest project is to make several quilts for Oakwood's dessert auction which helps to raise money to send our youth to church camp.
2023 Yearly Update
His Quilters has an ongoing ministry to provide quilts to the Enid community. In 2023, we donated approximately 100 quilts to various organizations including the cancer units at St. Mary's and Bass hospitals, CASA, CDSA, DHS, Bass nursery, and Enid Street Outreach. Additionally, a special project of 40 small quilts were donated to the NICU at Baptist Medical Center and Southwest Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
His Quilters also makes all the quilts for the March Auction. There were 16 quilts auctioned that raised about $5000 for the youth summer camps. This makes a grand total
of 156 quilts!
This group of dedicated ladies meet once a week with everyone working on different projects. First we pick through our “stash” of donated fabrics and decide on a pattern. Then the work of piecing the quilt top begins. Next it is time for the quilting. To complete them, binding and labels are attached. All to produce a beautiful and warm quilt. The fellowship, sharing ideas and knowledge is as rewarding as the feeling of accomplishment we receive through this ministry.
