Call for Help!

I just received a notice from the Arizona Quilters Guild and felt it could be passed along in any way possible.  This is something we all can do.

The excerpt below was sent to AQG via the Idaho guild. From what we understand Utah and Arizona have been contacted for help.

 

Quilters, our hundreds of firefighters need bandannas, quick! Here in Idaho we have the nation's #1 priority fire and it has already burned 160 square MILES of wilderness. The firefighters soak bandannas in water, use them until they're too smokey, then toss them to be rinsed and wet again. Please cut 16" squares- pinking if possible but not essential - and mail them ASAP to Blaine County Sheriff Gene Ramsey 219 S 1st Ave #109 Hailey, ID 83333  If you could put two in an envelope and get it in the mail tomorrow, they will be grateful.

Larger sizes are also needed - 20 to 28 inches. Precision not necessary. These firefighters are brave and exhausted, and none of the fires are stopping. It's really tough out there.

 This is the extent of the information we have been given. Feel free to donate but do not call the Sheriff's office.

Thanks,

Patricia Benner

President AQG
