Joyce and Gretchen - the picture says it all! No words can convey the heartfelt thanks for the gift of the love quilts. Members of the St Peters Episcopal Church through the past two years have given richly of themselves towards the "Home to Grow" project. For the congregation it went beyond just giving funding support. Their visit this week has cemented the bonds between the two communities. Symbolic of this bond is the gift of seven love quilts. The infinite care in the making and the detail of design and is truly inspirational. 120 children from St Peter's Sunday School designed representations of their love on small squares. Gretchen Ginnerty undertook the overall design, and a team of quilters and needlepointers from the church sewed the images into the quilts. The house mother's quilt is based on a traditional log cabin design symbolising the bonds of the home. Rainbow colours were chosen to represent the links of the rainbow nation. Each quilt is a treasure and a unique work of art.
