Schroeder Area Historical Society board member Alta McQuatters has cross-stitched five squares of dreamcatchers with feathers for the 2014 Cross River Quilters raffle.

The wall panel is called “White Sky” in honor of Alta’s grandfather, White Sky. White Sky and his ancestors lived in the area now called Lutsen. The Cross River Quilters created the complementary quilted background of the wall panel.

Raffle tickets are now on sale at Cross River Heritage Center for $2. The raffle drawing will be held on Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. when Cross River Heritage Center opens for a one-day celebration with krumkake, lefse and a holiday sale.
