Region 5 health care raffle
Women from Pondera, Teton, Toole, Glacier and Liberty Counties and the Blackfeet Reservation who represent Region 5 of the Montana Cancer Control Program (formerly the Montana Breast and Cervical Health Program) have completed a beautiful new quilt. The theme of this year’s quilt is “Wish Upon a Star”.
Each block contains a star of different design which has been created with love in honor of friends, relatives, or all women battling breast cancer.
The quilt was sewn together by Cheryl Aklestad of Shelby, quilted by Lorrie Siebrecht of Coulee Quilts and Crafts in Cut Bank and the binding was sewn on by Rona Matheson of Conrad.
