The local Stitch and Chatter quilting group continues to work at creating beautiful quilts and related items to donate to various causes in the area. The group recently adopted a logo, which was created by Amber Godwin Carstens. T & K Designs printed the logo onto T-shirts for the members to wear.

Members of Stitch and Chatter meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Panora First Christian Church basement (102 E. Church St.), 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The group welcomes anyone to come just to visit or to join them.

The group donates quilts to the local 3Cs (Children’s Clothes Closet) group every November but also gives to other worthy causes, including Fresenius Kidney Care Clinic (for dialysis patients).
