A quilting group called the Piecemakers has donated a quilt to Barry
County Habitat for Humanity, which is holding a quilt raffle to earn
funds to help build homes for low income people. Showing the quilt
are, from left, new Habitat President Warren Sutherland, Rita Brown
(who serves on the Habitat board and is a member of the
Piecemakers) and Habitat Executive Director Louise Hurless. Other
Piecemakers who worked on the quilt include Marge Wieland, Irene
Laughlin, Jeanette Kogge and Joyce Daugherty. The drawing will be
held on the County Courthouse steps Saturday, Aug. 25 during
Summerfest. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and may be
purchased at the Habitat office in Hastings or from any board
member. Habitat is building two homes this summer.
