&lt;p&gt;The Yaak Women&Otilde;s Club has recently created a quilt which they have traded to Fred and Carol Seton for a custom built wood stove for the historic Yaak Community Hall.&Ecirc; The quilt (which is pictured) is a beautiful and colorful, Circle Quilt design, and hand-quilted by the members of the Yaak Women&Otilde;s Club.&Ecirc; (Carol Seton is in the far right of the photo receiving the quilt). The Yaak Women&Otilde;s Club is dedicated to promote the welfare and integrity of the Yaak community as a whole, working together to create a financial base through quilting, crafting and volunteerism to support the Yaak Community Hall and lend support to other worthwhile projects.&Ecirc; The Yaak Community Hall was in need of a new wood stove to replace the aging barrel stove, which was quite inefficient.&Ecirc; So in this need, the offer was made to Fred and Carol Seton, of the Yaak, to trade a quilt for a wood stove.&Ecirc; The bartering trade has now been completed and the wood stove has been installed.&Ecirc; Thanks is given to all who helped in achieving and meeting this goal.&lt;/p&gt;

When the ladies of Yaak Women’s Club decided it was time to get a new wood-burning stove for the Yaak Community Hall, they sought out Fred Seton of Therm-A-Volt Inc. The stove the ladies were interested in ran for $3,000, but Seton had a different kind of exchange in mind. Seton proposed a swap: his stove for a hand-made circle quilt.

“We are very happy with the swap,” Mary Loney of the Yaak Women’s Club said. “The stove provides more consistent heat and holds the fire for a lot longer than what we had before.”

The quilt is the product of a dozen women’s yearlong labor.

“It was a new design for all of us,” Loney said. “It was a lot of hand-quilting and fabric cutting.”

Seton is happy with the trade as well. He has donated several stoves to area causes and says he was happy to help.
