Wanda Stopher's goal: 60 pieced comforters by the time she turns 60
Nov. 12 and 13 were knotting days at Bluffton First Mennonite Church, as persons of all ages participated in knotting comforters that are donated to Mennonite Central Committee.
MCC distributes the comforters to people in the U.S., as well as Jordan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Korea, Ukraine, Iraq, Zambia, Syria, Somalia, Lebanon, Haiti, Burkina Faso, and Canada.
The local Mennonite Women’s group organizes the knotting days to complete comforters made by various members of the church.
Many of the comforters completed over the past few years were made by Pastor Wanda Stopher, as part of her 60 X 60 project to mark her upcoming 60th birthday.
By the time Stopher turns 60 in 2019, she’ll have made 60 of the pieced comforters, all of which will be donated to MCC.
