Squiggles Pillows

Have you met Squiggles? 

He's a caterpillar that hangs out with us in the Preschool and Kindergarten GodZone classes. Squiggles can be found on every page of the Spark Story Bible and has many adventures during our large group time.

At the end of every school year, Squiggles has a party to celebrate all of the wonderful stories we have read during the year. The party is capped off with a special gift from Squiggles. This year, the Shepherd Quilters, several wonderful volunteers, and GodZone program coordinator, Pam Tschida, teamed up to create a wonderful memory for our youngest GodZone students.

Work began in October on “Squiggles Pillows” with a morning of sewing and stuffing pillows to be given to students at the end of the school year.

What a wonderful partnership! Working together, they sewed and stuffed over 250 pillows! The kids were so excited to receive their pillow from Squiggles and couldn’t wait to show mom and dad. 

Our two quilting groups are always looking for new friends to cut, sew, and stitch! All skill levels are welcome and the finished pieces are all donated to charities such as Target House, LSS, or Union Gospel Mission. The Shepherd Quilters meet Mondays, 9-2 and the Golden Stitchers meet 1st, 3rd, and 5th Thursdays, 9-Noon.

Below are photos of the quilters, the finished products, and their satisfied customers!
