JOY Quilters

JOY J=Jesus O=Others U=You!

JOY Quilters group was started and led in the Slidell Community by Elva Ellerman about forty years ago. Giving to the community is the mission of the group that currently meets at Lamb of God Lutheran Church on the last Monday and Tuesday of the month except December, June and July. Although many of the group are members at Lamb of God, anyone can participate. We have various jobs available for all skill levels. The group works with donated fabric to make various sizes of tied quilts. The quilts are sold year around. The money is distributed in May to community groups; currently Community Christian Concern and STARC. Quilts are also donated several times per year to the Slidell Cancer Center, Pregnancy Help Center, and CCC. Fabric scraps are collected into old pillowcases and given to the Slidell Animal Shelter.
