I wanted to show youns something I have been working on lately. I started making and sewing out Patches for our GAs & RAs at my Church. These are for the GAs and I made all on here except the footprints, I used someone else's footprints. The 2 groups are 1-6th graders. I also made the banners to sew their patches onto. Kids love to get Patches and so I am trying to do my part. They seem real tickled. Thanx for lookin!!!

These patches are a wonderful reward for their hard work. And they make a great memento to relive these good times. Well done.

I remember when I was a GA and got to the rank of Queen. Had to memorize a lot of scripture. Loved going to summer camp in North Georgia. These patches are great. Things have really changed in the past 65 yrs since I was in GAs. Know they will love these/Lillian

Me too!! My oldest grand daughter just completed her next to final step. they have added some since we were in GAs. Used to stop with Queen Regent (cape) now it goes on to a few more with awards of a cross pin, a medillion & finally a Bible. Then if the girl at their church has been active all those years, the church pays for them to go on a mission trip. They go to a church in Huntsville...not tooo far from you.

Great job! I still teach GAs! Very small group now, but a faithful bunch of little girls! Favorite thing? Seeing how much money they get for the alum. cans & then using it for mission projects! Love that you made the banners for them also!
