Red Cross celebrates with quilt work
(Indiana) - Judy Clare loves to quilt.The Frankfort resident has been designing and sewing high-quality, beautifully crafted quilts for more than 20 years, but in that time, she never dreamed a piece of her work would be on display in the nation's capital.
Come May, that's exactly where her latest creation -- an 18-by-22-inch panel representing the Tippecanoe County Chapter of the American Red Cross -- will end up.
Amy Gamble, volunteer services director at the Red Cross, said she was put in touch with Clare, who works at Smith Office in Lafayette, while trying to find a volunteer to fulfill a request from national headquarters.
