The Heart in Hand Quilt Guild held its first charity workshop of the year last week at the Bowen Center for the Arts where members produced 20 quilts for the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office as part of the First Responders Comfort Quilt Project. During the guild’s club meeting earlier in the week, Sheriff Jeff Johnson spoke to the members and thanks them for their help in providing handcrafted quilts for first responders throughout the year. The quilts are given out by deputies to provide comfort to children in need, accident victims and victims of domestic violence.
