A hand-stitched quilt could help make children's dreams come true.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation, a nonprofit organization that grants wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses, is raffling the quilt. All proceeds will help fill children's wishes.
The quilt, made and donated by Pat McKeithen of Meridian, will be awarded to a winner chosen March 14 at a luncheon sponsored by the local Make-A-Wish chapter.
The quilt is on display at Hancock Fabrics in Meridian. Tickets are $1. For more information, call 1-800-819-4072.
