Sewing for Nicaragua-February 2014

We can't have a sewing day without food! Bea is digging in!

Vivian (right) asked our sewing group to help her make 40 rag dolls. She will take these dolls with her to Nicaragua to share the plan of salvation. Cathy is eager to start sewing with Vivian.

Ladies seated on the left side of the table are assembling the doll heads with various laces and yarns for hair. Those on the right are sewing the dolls together. Vivian's daughter is on the right in the purple blouse. Barbara (standing in the red blouse) is supervising! Further down the table Sue and Louise are turning the dolls right side out. We had a really great assembly line going!

Another group of ladies assembled these necklaces for the dolls. The black beads represents sin, red is the blood of Jesus, white stands for purity, blue represents water baptism, green represents continual growth in Jesus, and gold represents the streets of heaven!

Kim is stuffing a rag doll. It takes lots of concentration!

On this end of the table, ladies were turning the rag dolls right side out. There's Louise and Sue again!!!

Barbara, Shirley and Sue are all working hard now!

YES! We finally have some dolls finished!

Kim switched to the face painting station and did a terrific job! Those faces were so cute!!

Everyone is still hard at work!

We just keep adding dolls to our collection.

Kay switched from sewing to painting faces with Kim. Barbara is tying the necklaces on the dolls.

Vivian's step-mom is working hard (in the pink blouse). Her dad is supervising!

Paint those faces, Kay!!

Ladies at this station were hand sewing the dolls together.

AND . . . here they are! We made 40 rag dolls in a little over 4 hours! God was with us all the way!

These are for the boys!

These are for the girls! May God bless Vivian as she travels to spread the Good News about our precious Savior, Jesus Christ! THANKS TO ALL OF THE WONDERFUL LADIES WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROJECT! IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING.
