Fire Departments Across the Nation Donate Patches To Make This Quilt A Realization

When local resident, Barbara Clay, learned that the Rising Star Volunteer Fire Department was planning a fundraiser for later this year, she knew she wanted to help. “I wanted to do something that would be fun and different. I started looking at online sites for ideas and I finally decided to make a quilt that represented not only our fire department, but fire departments from across the nation,” she said.
