ROCKWALL COUNTY, TX (Nov. 14, 2026) What is in a quilt? Gone are the days of making a quilt just to keep you warm. They still do keep us warm, but they are truly an artform now. Today’s quilters can spend hours creating masterpieces filled with love, prayers, wonders and surprises. It is such a blessing to be the recipient of a beloved quilt and be wrapped in a hug.
“The lovely women are more than fellow quilters. They are truly a lifeline for each other. There is always someone there with a hug, phone call, hot meal, a driver to an appointment and someone to hold your hand when a loved one is sick. In our world, I feel honored and blessed to be a member of this group,” said Linsley Srygley.
Bee Sew Blessed Quilting Ministry started making quilts for the community in 2014. This wonderfully talented group of women began with a wonderful ministry in mind. Their mission is to bring honor and glory to the Lord by providing comfort quilts to members, local charities and groups in need. This talented group of 20-24 active members are made up of both church members and several women from our Rockwall community.
Recently, quilts were displayed on the back of pews in the Chapel at First Baptist Church Rockwall. The quilters admired each other’s work and carefully boxed the quilts. Forty quilts were sent to Texans on Missions, 27 children’s quilts will go to foster care and nine patriotic quilts will go to veterans. This year they have made over 175 quilts. Some of the organizations the quilts have been donated to: Texas Veterans Hospital, Appalachian Ministry of Kentucky, Samaritan’s Purse, Sheriff’s Office, Children’s Medical City Hospital, CASA, Rockwall Pregnancy Center, Counting Stars Ranch, Victory Life, Meals on Wheels Senior Services, Rockwall County Library, Texans on Missions, Women in Need and Northplace Orphan Care.
Bee Sew Blessed Quilting Ministry meets on Tuesdays at First Baptist Church in Rockwall. They are completely funded by donations. If you would like to donate fabric or funds, please contact the church at 972-771-8459.
