For years, the Kimberling City, Missouri Church has been known for all the quilts they made for “It’s My Very Own.” There were always quilts, with bags of love, hanging on the walls in their fellowship hall. The quilts were admired by visitors and members alike, and were greatly missed by everyone, including Dorothy Israel, when they were taken down. In memory of Dorothy, who was very involved in the IMVO program and made many quilts, the church now has some quilts on display, lovingly made by Lyle Brooks, Kimberling City church member, and a very involved member of the IMVO program.
