Quilters on the Mountain quilt group had a PJ party on Friday, Oct. 16, and made 40 heart shaped pillows for breast cancer patients. They were donated to the Cumberland Cancer center of Crossville.

This group was established in 1996 by Sharon Whittlesey who has since moved to Iowa. The group has made many charity items such as lap quilts, pillow cases, walker bags, cuddle quilts, bibs,and various other items which have been donated to the House of Hope, veterans hospital, Avalon House, and the Crisis Pregnancy Center.¬†They also donate a bed quilt once a year to the Trinity Tabernacle Ladies group.

The quilt group consists of 30-plus members who meet the first and second Mondays of the month at 6 p.m. at Trinity Tabernacle church on 127 South and is open to anyone who share their love for quilting regardless of their skill level. For further information about the group, contact Cathy Cantwell at 456-2185.
