The Hearts and Hands Quilting Guild has once again produced a quilt for the United Way Estevan’s telethon.
The quilt, which is currently on display at Henders Drugs, was created by guild members Linda Jones, Eileen McKersie and Avis Dronsfield. It’s a black quilt with a variety of designs and patterns.
“We had some blocks that were given to us, and then we added more blocks to it. We had some colours, and we went with the star design,” said Jones.
It will be raffled off, and the winner will be announced during the telethon, which takes place Oct. 16-17.
Jones is pleased with how the quilt turned out, and she hopes they sell a lot of tickets, because the money goes to a good cause.
“We get satisfaction about knowing that we’ve done our part to donate to help others in this community,” she said.
Many hours of work went into the quilt. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Saskatchewan, the guild’s members would meet every Thursday, and the three members who worked on it were able to get the quilt done before the restrictions were in place.
“Right after the United Way, we start planning for the next year’s quilt,” Jones said.
Tickets are $2 each or three for $5, and can be purchased at Henders. Members have been selling tickets at the Farmer’s Market. They will be available during the telethon as well.
