Ohio Star

In 2016, when Annette and Lorna Wiens took a class at Gruber’s Quilt Store, Annette chose the Ohio Star pattern because it would be quick and her favorite color is red. Annette loves to quilt so having a barn quilt at her house made perfect sense!

Rays of Hope
Staples Trail
Faith Lutheran Church
430 12th St. Staples MN. 56479. (view quilt off of 2nd Ave NE on church property)
“Rays of Hope” is a visual reminder of “Faith, Hope and Love” and fits well with Faith Lutheran’s motto: “We gather, grow and go in Faith”. All are welcome to Faith Lutheran church (ELCA) to: visit, worship, serve, pray and grow in faith.
In 1902, a small group of Norwegians were worshiping in private homes once a month. The group decided in 1903 to start a Norwegian Lutheran Congregation in Staples. In 1906, when the private homes become too crowded, this same group, decided to rent the Baptist Church in south Staples. In 1913, the congregation voted to build a new church in south Staples. The lot was purchased by the ladies’ aid for $50.00 and the church constructed. In 1937, the name was changed to the First English Lutheran Church, and a new church was built on the north side of Staples, on 7th Street. In 1959, the name was changed once again from Frist English Lutheran Church to Faith Lutheran Church, which it remains today. The present church was built by members of the congregation, and Mission Builders volunteers, and was dedicated in 2005.

M
Southwest Trail
17600 Co. Road 84, Clarissa, MN 56440
The “M”: It began with my craft loving neighbor asking me over to try painting a barn quilt with her and one other friend. A nice big heated garage, lots of laughing and the challenge and fun of making a barn quilt was born. I looked at all different kinds of barn quilts and patterns on Pinterest and found one I liked. I was intimidated by the large size so I did a smaller 4ft x 4ft size. The colors came from what we had on hand. The letter “M” came from the first letter of my name.
