Our Community Baby Shower

held on March 24, 2009.

As a ward we had a baby shower as a community service project for Utah County's Baby Your Baby and for the Children's Justice Center in Provo.

We made about 45 quilts - some rag quilts and many many tied quilts from infant to queen size. Also donated were beautiful baby outfits, toys, books, and more baby blankets - plus many other things a new mother might need. Here are some pictures from our evening.

On January 13th we had a Relief Society Activity on how to make rag quilts from scraps of material. After our class we tied a couple of quilts.

Roll dough into rectangle. Brush with melted butter and add brown sugar mixed with cinnamon. Roll long side and cut about ½" and set on cookie sheet to rise. Bake 350 for 12-15 min, or until golden brown. While still hot, frost with a cream cheese frosting or a glaze of powdered sugar and milk.
