Bear Lake Quilting And Quilters

Kathie B. Anderson, Reporter
Rich Civic Times 

Every Tuesday, visitors and residents from the Rich County and southern Idaho area meet at the Garden City Community Center (above the Library) from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. to do humanitarian quilting.   Quilters work on projects ranging from hand tied baby blankets to full sized quilts.  The material is donated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints so  that it can be tie quilted by the Bear Lake Quilters.  In turn, the quilts are returned to the LDS Church Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City, Utah and sent all over the world to people in need. 
 
What a wonderful opportunity this is for the Garden City community to serve others and to get to know new people.  This is a year-round activity and everyone is invited, even if you just want to visit.  A great time is had by all working for this very worthwhile undertaking.  For more information, contact Loraine Schnetzer at bloutlook@cut net.
