  Martha’s Cupboard is about serving God and helping others through the art of quilting. I am a third generation quilter. The gift I have inherited from my grandmother and through my mother, I want to use to minister to others. Our quilts wrap love around new babies, shut ins, the ill and recovering. We pray as we sew: For those who will receive the quilts and for the needs of one another as we are quilting. Any woman can work on quilts with Martha’s Cupboard, no experience necessary! All you need to have is a willingness to learn and a desire to help others. Please come join us every Thursday morning at 9AM at Maranatha Assembly of God Church. Twice a year, we host a quilting "mini" retreat from Friday evening to Saturday. A particular quilt pattern is taught or you can bring your own project. Looking forward to sharing my love of quilting with you, Wanda Hawkins (651) 462-5909
