From the Fat Quarter Gazette--September 2009

Service Project Idea

Are you interested in helping someone finish a quilt? We have heard of a request from a member of Village Adventist Church who needs help in finishing a quilt. She lives in Milton-Freewater and has requested a student for WWU Service Day who knows how to sew to help finish a quilt. Service Day organizers are concerned they won't find a student. All the materials are provided. If you are interested in this project, contact Marlene for details.
