Quilt shops to take part in regional fundraiser

In effort to collect food items for local food banks, Sew What Quilt Shop in Marion and Kessler Kreations in Hillsboro will join four other regional quilt shops in the “Third Annual Quilter’s Fun Run” from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 11 and 12.

For every yard of fabric sold during the event, each shop will donate one food item to their local food bank.

A grand prize of $300 and runner-up prizes will be available.

Patrons can also get a discount on a block pattern kit if they bring a food item.

All About Quilts in Manhattan, Lucky Charm Quilt Shop in Chapman, Material Girls in Abilene, and Quilter’s Yard in Junction City also will take part in the event.
