My Heart is Tied up in Knots

The Young Single Adult ward celebrated their first birthday by doing a service project and then singing Happy Birthday to themselves and eating birthday cake. There was such a great turnout that evening. Quilting frames and young adults filled the Relief Society room in the tabernacle.

The service project was tying 5 crib-sized quilts for the Humanitarian Center. Everyone was willing to help and appeared to enjoy themselves. Some people had never tied a quilt before and some had done a little quilt tying. Others were very experienced and used their knowledge to help the others. Quick quilt-tying lessons were given and then everyone went to work.







Because many hands make light work, at the end of the evening 5 quilts were completely tied and ready to be bound.

Can you see why my heart is smitten with these young people?

Looks like a fun and productive evening. Saw mom in the background--smart to recruit her to help

Hi Mama--love the picture of dad and grandmama, and the picture of the yarn stretched high above his head! He must have figured out that the longer it is, the less often he has to rethread the needle...only to discover it's harder to not tangle! Looks so fun, and I LOVE the post title.
