At the October meeting we had the honor of gifting a quilt made of neck scarves for a comfort dog that had passed away. Naomi was the dog’s name and several guild members worked on the quilt from piecing the scarves to quilting it. Naomi’s handler was in tears as the quilt was presented to her.
Magdelene, the church’s current comfort dog was in attendance along with several of her handlers. The guild makes Magdelene’s scarves, and if you’d like to make a scarf
