Why We Began This Ministry:
Sewn-N-Love began as a result of Sandy Wilson and her best friend Joan Fuller responding to Sandy's husband, Chuck, being diagnosed with brain cancer in 2001. Sandy found solace in working on hand pieces during time in waiting and treatment rooms. In 2004 the two best friends saw an opportunity to minister to others dealing with the scourge of cancer and they founded Sewn-N-Love. The organization's signature quilt uses Jacob's Ladder blocks. "We pray over each quilt before it is delivered to the recipient, asking that God will grant that person peace and comfort."
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to demonstrate to cancer patients and their family that they are not alone in the struggle against this dreaded disease. The quilts that we give to them are a tangible reminder that others are praying for them and fight a battle similar to theirs. Our quilts symbolically wrap cancer patients and their family in the warmth of God's Love. An integral part of our mission is to pass on our love of quilts and quilting, while promoting fellowship within the quilting community.
