St. Paul Quilting Group Enjoys Appreciation Lunch

For over 30 years, members of the church quilting group, led by Jeanette Brown and comprised of ladies of all denominations, have gathered twice a month at St. Paul Lutheran church to create quilts of all sizes for distribution to numerous charitable organizations.

In appreciation for their donated quilts, the ladies were invited to a delightful lunch on Wednesday, May 21, at Ascension Seton Medical Center in Smithville. As the group enjoyed the meal, prepared by a classically trained chef, they were welcomed by Jace Jones, Chief Administrative Officer of the Smithville hospital, Ascension Seton Bastrop and Ascension Seton Edgar B. Davis in Luling and by Licensed Clinical Social Worker Eileen Riley.

“We are so grateful to you all for donating these quilts that our patients have really enjoyed,” stated Jones. “We wanted to thank you and are so glad you could join us here.” He went on to offer some background on the eight-room hospital and highlighted how it’s staffed by locals and run more efficiently.

Riley, a psychotherapist by training, distributes the quilts to patients and stated, “Patients receive these quilts during their stay and they get to take them home. They love them. I give them to patients in the ER as well. It really brightens their day.”
