Smokin' Hot Quilts:
A Havasu Stitchers Project Honoring
Lake Havasu City Firefighters
In Spring 2023, Havasu Stitchers received a large donation of fabric and sewing items from the Shank family. With this donation, Havasu Stitcher Terrie Eller suggested a new Community Outreach quilt project to the Havasu Stitchers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promoting the art and education of quilting, to make quilts for all our Lake Havasu City Firefighters. We currently have 6 fire stations in our city, and a 7th fire station is in the planning stages. We are making large twin-size quilts (70" x 90") for our local firefighters to use at the fire station beds. Any additional fabric used was donated by Havasu Stitchers and our local area quilt shops. Special labels will be made for all the quilts.
We have reserved a date to present the quilts to the firefighters at the Lake Havasu City Aquatic Center on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., with the Mayor in attendance. The firefighters are invited to attend and choose their quilts. The general public is invited to preview some of the quilts at the Lake Havasu City Office lobby. This display will be from October 22, 2024, to November 1, 2024.
The general public is welcome to attend the distribution event. We look forward to seeing you there.
