News from Trinity Cathedral
Trinity to receive "face-lift"
Trinity Cathedral is sprucing up in anticipation of
its bicentennial celebration in 2012. The stucco facade, heating and air
conditioning systems, spires, louvers, stained glass windows and many other features will receive attention once the $5,000,000
renovation begins. The cathedral's Trinity Foundation is
conducting a quiet capital campaign to raise funds for the
project.

The quilt is a 91” x 91” queen-sized coverlet. Machine pieced of cotton fabrics with a cotton batting and backing. It is sewn in a rainbow variegated thread. Ms. Hunter has spent hours studying the colors in the cathedral’s stained glass windows and the patterned tile floor surrounding the altar and chancel. With these colors and the feeling of being surrounded by this beauty and sense of peace, she designed the pattern, “Cathedral Stars.” “It has been fun watching small children fill out their tickets after church on Sunday, hopeful that their ticket will be the winning one,” said Hunter. Tickets can also be purchased for a one dollar donation through her website (http://quiltville.com) and blog (http://quiltville.blogspot.com). Donations have come in from all over the globe including Greece and Australia. Net proceeds from the bazaar (including 100% from the quilt) go to outreach. Each year five local agencies receive the majority of the funds. The remaining funds go to standing missions and a small grants fund. This year the five local agency recipients are The Cooperative Ministry, Children’s Garden, St. Lawrence Place, Salvation Army Kids 2 Kamp and Young Life. The bazaar is one of the largest in the southeast and last year, netted over $45,000 which went back into the community for outreach.
