"We shall go on in this work. There will always be a need. Hunger and want and catastrophes will ever be with us. And there will always be those whose hearts have been touched by the light of the gospel who will be willing to serve and work and lift the needy of the earth." President Gordon B. Hinckley, General Conference May 2004

DIRECTIONS FOR QUILTS for LDS HUMANITARIAN
PLEASE:
* Cut ties to 1 1/2" in length
* Check back of quilts for any "boo-boos" - like yarn not pulled clear through and lumpy looking.
* Ties should be 3-4" apaprt or what works best if quilts top has squares larger than 4" then put ties in corners of the square and in the middle of each square.
* Don't place ties too close to the edge of the quilt.
* Don't mix the square knot and the international knot in the same quilt.
* Please tie large quilts on quilting frames if at all possible to avoid wrinkled and saggy backs.

Any questions??? Call St. George 652-8232 Ext 136
