Oct. 10, a group of ladies from Hafford joined the Cotton Pickin Quilters at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Radisson for an afternoon of sharing ideas for sewing projects for the needy. The Hafford ladies delivered 126 little dresses that they had made over the last year, so along with the 46 dresses sewn at Radisson, 172 dresses will be sent to Saskatoon for shipment to orphanages in Africa.
Following coffee and goodies, the Cotton Pickin Quilters raffle tickets were drawn. The large quilt was won by Shirley McKellar of Saskatoon, the baby quilt went to Gerry Wainwright of Borden and the cozies to Kim and Cam Rothenburger, grandchildren of Susan and Alvin Rothenburger of Radisson.
The quilters wish to thank everyone who bought tickets as the proceeds help pay for shipping of blankets to refugee camps, for needed materials for future sewing projects and a heartfelt thanks to all who have donated materials for making the blankets.
