Sisters Learn to Make Pinwheels


Nine sisters from the Ganado branch, plus three missionaries from Chinle, learned how to make a pieced pinwheel baby blanket. Sister Wilcox set up 3 different starting times to accommodate different work schedules on March 26. Several sisters, however, stayed most of the day.
Sister Nez, a beginning sewer, is hoping to learn how to sew well enough that she can use it for a home industry to earn money. Three of the sisters who came have been inactive for some time, but enjoyed the comraderie engendered at the all-day activity. One of the faithful participants in the workshops is an investigator who has developed a new skill. Sister Chung, an active member of the branch, helped as an assistant at the workshop, and then went on to teach the pattern steps to her extended family two weeks later. We think quilting may be addictive and is spreading.
