Gene Chandler hopes the thousands of stitches made with his 1925 Singer sewing machine will help a needy person stay warm. For more than two years, the Berryhill man has used material scraps to make about 100 quilts.
...Last year, Chandler gave about 50 quilts to the Tulsa Boys Home, John 3:16 Mission, the Blue Star Mothers and his church. "
