Members of the local Stitch & Chatter group announced they are the thankful recipients of a $500 donation from Guthrie County State Bank’s May Day Friendship promotion. Stitch & Chatter member Ellen Campbell explained how the funds are being used.
“The funds allowed us to purchase supplies and notions to continue making quilts that will be donated to various charities,” Campbell said.Some of the local groups that receive the quilts include 3C’s (Children’s Clothes Closet), Hospice, Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, New Opportunities, Storks Nest, Atlantic Hospital, and Mercy Hospital.
Campbell also invites the public to learn more about the Stitch & Chatter group.
“If you would like to see what we do, please join us on Nov. 6 for our quilt giveaway at First Christian Church,” she said. “This mission could not be reached without your donations of fabric to make these wonderful gifts.”
Campbell added that the donated funds were spent locally at the Gap Creek Quilt Shop in Guthrie Center.
