Bethel QUILTers in 2011

In 2011 the Bethel QUILTers created and distributed 61 comfort quilts to individuals undergoing cancer treatment. The group meets every Wednesday afternoon from 12:30-3:30 at Bethel Christian Reformed Church in Newmarket. Donations of fabric and money are received in order to make this ministry possible. The Church also supports the group by providing funds to purchase batting, thread and some material. Following are a few of the ones given to individuals.

Bethel QUILTers

Bethel QUILTers started in 2005 with a group of about 8 women who had a desire to learn more about quilting while creating comfort quilts for cancer patients.  One of the members had received a donation of fabric and came up with the idea of using this gift to serve others in the community. The following year Bethel Christian Reformed Church began to support the group with some funds. Over the years the group has grown to now include 20 members.
