HOMME HOME
AUXILIARY QUILTS: Quilts and
quilting have been a part of Homme Home of Wittenberg
throughout its history. The art of quilting was
taught to the young girls who lived at Homme Old Folks
and Orphans home by the elderly women who shared that
home as well. The quilts kept Homme residents warm
on those cold winter nights.
Later in its history, Homme
volunteers made quilts to sell in order to raise money
for various projects at Homme Home. Quilts were
made and sent all over the country including furnishing
a Bed and Breakfast home out east. Unused quilt
fabric that is not used by the Homme Auxiliary is
sent to area churches to be used in making quilts for
Lutheran World Relief.
Today, the Homme Auxiliary
heads up the quilt making department. The Homme
quilts are still in demand as the volunteers tie a quilt
a week which often are sold even before they are
finished and put on display. In addition to queen
size quilts, Homme Auxiliary volunteers also do full
size and/or twin size quilts. Baby and crib size
quilts are also made in a variety of prints and
styles. The proceeds from the quilt sales continue
to support resident centered programs at Homme Home of
Wittenberg and Forest Park Village.
There is a new "twist" to
quilting for the summer. Many have asked about
"summer quilts" and due to a great response, Homme
Auxiliary is now offering summer quilts. They are
lighter than the regular quilts. So come check it
out! They are on display in the front lobby here
at Homme Home.
If you would like more
information on the Homme Auxiliary quilt project or
would like to order a quilt, please contact Arlene Hanus
at arleneh@homme.org or
call 1-888-215-5036 or you can also call Fay Rosenow,
Auxiliary Board Member, at 715-793-4665.
