Southwest Presbyterian Church

 

We decided that pillows for the Church would be a good community project because the Church has a stone bench around the wall which is uncomfortable to sit on.  The designs are adaptations of Mimbres pottery designs.  The Mimbres  is an ancient Native American culture from the Southwest.  Sue Strause designed each of the thirty-five pillow faces with varying borders and suggested the color scheme for each pillow.  This community project took the Chapter two years to complete.
