UPDATE:  We now have about 85 completed quilts for our project.  Way to go, Stitchers!  Keep them coming!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Terrie Eller has brought a new Community Outreach quilt project to the Havasu Stitchers.

We are introducing a project to make a quilt for all our Lake Havasu City Firefighters.  We currently have 6 fire stations in our city and a 7^th fire station is in the planning stages.  We are making large twin-size quilts (70" x 90") for our local firefighters to use at the fire station beds.  Special labels will be made for all the quilts, so you don't need to worry about the labels.  

We have some fabric from recent donations and have bundles available for you to take home to make a quilt.  We welcome any donations from your personal stashes.  We will supply batting.  Terrie will have fabric bundles for you to choose from at the general meetings.

We have reserved a date to present the quilts to the firefighters at the Lake Havasu City Aquatic Center on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., with the Mayor in attendance.  The firefighters will be able to come and choose their quilts.  We will also be displaying a few of the quilts at the City office lobby in the month of October 2024.  This will be a great event to publicize our Havasu Stitchers to the community.  

Here is what we are planning:

January 2024 - we have FOUR completed quilts for our project.
