<p>The Yaak WomenÕs 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.Ê The quilt (which is pictured) is a beautiful and colorful, Circle Quilt design, and hand-quilted by the members of the Yaak WomenÕs Club.Ê (Carol Seton is in the far right of the photo receiving the quilt). The Yaak WomenÕs 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.Ê The Yaak Community Hall was in need of a new wood stove to replace the aging barrel stove, which was quite inefficient.Ê So in this need, the offer was made to Fred and Carol Seton, of the Yaak, to trade a quilt for a wood stove.Ê The bartering trade has now been completed and the wood stove has been installed.Ê Thanks is given to all who helped in achieving and meeting this goal.</p>

Ladies group swaps handmade quilt for community center stove

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.
