The Rainy Day Quilters Guild took its annual quilting show on the road to deliver quilts to local veterans this past month.
Through February and the first week of March, guild members made socially distant visits to the homes of Ketchikan veterans to deliver handmade Quilts of Valor, which usually would have been presented at an in-person show.
Due to the persisting coronavirus pandemic, the show was canceled, leaving the guild to find a new way to move forward with their efforts to deliver Quilts of Valor to veterans. We (the guild) discussed it and decided we really didn t want to not award any quilts because we have a fairly large list, Rainy Day Quilters Guild member Jean Mackie said in a Friday interview with the Daily News, noting that the group did not want to get behind on their list.
