When Carolyn Abbott closed her Flying Colors business, she donated "leftover" fabric items that did not sell to the Trinity quilting group. These "Log Cabin" quilt blocks are laid out in a "Field and Furrows" pattern and is the name of our quilt. We purchased border and backing fabric and had this little quilt machine quilted.

Trinity's quilting group meet twice a month, except summers when we meet once a month, and make quilts for missions. In 2024 we made 461 quilts. Most of our quilts go to Global Health Ministries in Fridley, MN where they are then sent to various medical facilities in 13 under-resourced countries. Quilts are then used in medical facilities or distributed to people in need. Locally we donated 78 quilts to MN Adult and Teen Challenge, men's and women's campuses, 9 quilts and three sheet sets to the Brainerd Lions Club for families in need and 5 to Pine Manor, Nevis, MN...a substance abuse recovery center. We feels that it is our responsibility to help those in need and that is why we donate to the Synod Assembly quilt auction to help end hunger and poverty.
