Kit Preparation
A
word of encouragement: You may be involved in cutting or preparing a few or
even thousands of items that will go into Living Water Quilt Project kits. The
task may be tiring. Ask the Lord whom we serve with our hands to keep your mind
sharp, on task and encouraged as you do this work for him. Also, remember to
pray for the women who will touch each piece of fabric you have prepared.
From the Lord’s heart to your heart,
From your heart to your hands,
From your hands, to her hands,
From her hands to her heart,
May He
be glorified!

Bobbin
Bobbins are used simply as a convenient means of
holding the thread for the kit. They are purchased pre-loaded with thread.
Plastic
Zipping-lock Bag
Assemble each packet such that large pieces of fabric
are stacked first - pieces like “A”, “AA”, then medium size like “B”, with
smallest sizes on top, like “C”, “CC” and “J”. Place the identifying card so
that it may be read through the pouch.
Note: It is very helpful to lay out all pieces
for multiple kits on a large table such that each kit can be assembled by
picking up the pieces in order – this insures that no woman will be missing a
piece.
Another tip is to count the fabric pieces as you pick
up and stack them – there are 25 fabric pieces plus the felt holder, the bobbin
and the identifying card insert (28 total items) that go into each plastic zipping-lock
style bag.
