Happy 90th to Hella Brunnen, Quilting Queen





     This beautiful quilt was designed by Julie Larsen, roosters with the tails looking like pineapples.

On Friday September the 5, 2025 we celebrated Hella Lunnens 90th birthday together . She was thrilled as we paid tribute to her as one of the oldest serving missionaries in the world.
