From discard pile to warm blanket

Grace Quilters gathered Thursday morning, Jan. 23 to tie together the quilt made from scraps to be sent to Guatemala in June during a mission trip. Three of the “scrappy” quilts were sent to California to be given to residents whose homes and belongings were lost to recent wildfires. Quilt members include (from left) Dianna Spath, Arlene Bendix, Karen Menage, Linda Renken, Mary Akkerman, Carol Green, Barb Oldre, Carol Richters and Vicky Henderson.
