Our first quilting group

We had a wonderful morning walking around Tirana - visiting the National Museum of History, and remembering Albania's history. Then, lunch and off to Campus Crusade to join a group of women to present quilting as a potential evangelistic tool. Adi had hand-picked this group as being strategic for potential use of this tool, and they all seemed to enjoy themselves.

Adi chose the fabric last night, we had a set of tools for almost everyone. According to Adi, a 2 to 2 1/2 hour meeting is about the limit... they were there five hours! We almost finished the first block, and we had the opportunity to teach some of the techniques of quilting. What a blessing these women are - and, hopefully, they will be able to use quilting in their evangelism.

Well, I'm totally wiped out, so I'm heading to bed right now. Tomorrow we go to the mountains with a lady I have not met. Genta will go, and if there is room, so will Flori and Bill. We get home, then dinner with the Berhamis.

For reasons unknown, the blog doesn't seem to want to accept the photos. I'll try again in the am.

G'night

  1. I finally was smart enough to get the mystery word right and can now post comments (wouldn't let me load my pix either). I'm so glad everything is going well--will continue to pray. Your ministry dream is fun to be a part of.
