Sunbonnet Sue's Community Quilt Projects
Habitat For Humanity of Clallam County has completed 18 homes and helped families achieve the dream ofliving in their own home. The last three homes were dedicated on December 9, 2007. Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club makes quilts for the families each of homes. Thebiggest thrill is presenting the quilts and seeing the joy it brings the parents and children. The boys in two different families hung tightly to their quilts during the dedication ceremony. Several more homes will be completed during this year.
