Janet Buness of the Stikine Stitchers Quilt Guild hangs handmade quilts at Wells Fargo Tuesday afternoon. The quilts were created by the quilt guild for Wrangell residents in need of comfort while battling a serious illness. They will be raffled off and all proceeds will be donated to Cancer Care of Wrangell, in memory of Jane Bauer who lost her battle to cancer last fall.
“This project has been a labor of love fulfilling the last wishes of fellow quilter Jane…” a release from the Stikine Stitchers states.
Bauer donated boxes of fabric, including many unfinished quilt tops, which quilt guild members used to finish the quilts, according to the release.
Raffle tickets are for sale through Feb. 12 for $1 at local grocery stores or from individual quilt guild members. The drawing will be Feb 13. The four winners will be able to pick a quilt of their choice. For now, the quilts will be on display at the bank.
