The Stitch & Chatter Quilt Club of Worth County was organized by Vicky Murphy in April of 2006 as a charity club. As of this date, we have 11 members. We welcome anyone that is interested in quilt making and donating their time to make throws and other projects the members wish to donate to charity. As of this date the club has made 25 throws for the Show Me Home of Sheridan, 5 throws for children of house fires of Worth County, 1 throw for a silent auction, 1 as a personal gift to a Ravenwood accident victim, 55 pillow cases for soldiers in Iraq, 1 for a raffle for the Senior Center of Worth County, 28 blocks & 2 quilt tops, 7 yards of red/white fabric for the backing of the blocks & tops along with the batting to the wounded soldiers to make their own personal quilts in rehab. We also helped make pillow cases along with other volunteers for Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City and the St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. Other projects we have helped with are collecting Toys for Tots at Christmas time and a personal hygiene & cleaning supplies for Mission Possible Christmas baskets.
The Stitch & Chatter Quilt Club made a quilt for Defiance Days in 2007 to sell raffle tickets to make money to help with expense for all the donations to the different projects. We also made a quilt for the 2008 Defiance Days to sell raffle tickets. It is being displayed at the Great Western Bank in Sheridan now and we will have it on display in the park until 4 p.m. There will be a drawing on Saturday at 4:00 p.m., you need not be present to win. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. LOOK US UP IN THE PARK.
