It is hanging on display in the new pansh hall. A year o, the Evangelical Lutheran Women of each congrega- tion in the London Conference was sent a rectangular quilt block in which to design and embroider, liquid embroider, or applique a pat- tern tot their home church. Lloyd Otterbein designed the block for St. ELW and Veola Wood embroidered it. Pictured is the church building surrounded by pictures depicting our farming community near Lake Huron. At the spring convention held in Leamington last April, 11 of the congregations responded to the roll call with the completed quilt blocks. The president of the London Conference ELW, Mary Whyte of Trinity Lutheran Church of London, assembled the blocks, added the title 'Reaching Out With Love', and then proceeded to quilt it. The next quesuon was what to do with the completed product. At the ELW fall conference held at Trinity, London, the suggestion was made to have the quilt 'travel' from congregation to congregation (geographically) - each one to display it for a period of approximate- ly one month. The London Conference extends from Windsor in the South to Milverton in the North and Woodstock in the East. The fi- nal 'destination' of this quilt has yet to be determined.
