Make a Difference Day
Oct. 27 is Make a Difference Day. The Washburn quilting group Stitchin’ an’ a Givin’ will be making quilts on Oct. 26 to commemorate this day at the Trail Runners Clubhouse in Washburn.
The group will be making quilts for Hospice of Aroostook; they will be having a potluck lunch along with items for coffee breaks. Anyone is welcome to come and help out. If you don’t sew you can help with cutting, pressing or tacking fabric. They will have fabric available for anyone who does not have their own, but quilts made from the fabric stash must be donated to Hospice. Please bring your own tools such as scissors, tacking needles or sewing machine.
