Joy in Sisterhood: Sewing Machine Becomes A Reality.


  Grit Avellar (left) wanted to help with the Coronavirus masks many others were making.  The only problem was that she didn't have a sewing machine.  She was given an ironing job that needed done: folding and ironing the ties that went on a particular mask. It took her 10 minutes just to iron the ties for one mask.  A necessary job and she was a big help to the mask makers, but she really wanted to sew and needed a sewing machine, a desire she expressed to Sister Cathy Leonard.  
     The next day Cathy called Priscilla Quarnstrom to see how she was doing.  In the course of the conversation she found out that Priscilla had a sewing machine she didn't want any more and was willing to give away.  "Do you know anyone who needs a sewing machine?" Priscilla asked Cathy.  It so happened she did!  The two were united and Grit (who is from Germany) starts on the journey of learning how to sew.
