Welcome Home Quilts info given

Welcome Home Quilts is a group of 3 women trying to provide a quilt for the Veterans and Active service men and women in the Tonkawa Area. The 3 women are Kipann Gottman, Patricia Levings McCune & Sherry Jeffries Fields. To date, there have been over 60 quilts made and presented to Vets, Active service men, policemen and firemen. It takes about $100 - $125 worth of materials to make a quilt. If you would like to sponsor a quilt, we will need the name, branch of military, service dates. This is a great way to honor our servicemen and women. We would like to thank those that have contributed to Welcome Home Quilts so far. If you would like to donate, have questions or sponsor a quilt, please contact Patty McCune 580-628-0698
