Jan Nickerson of Traverse City sews a placemat on her 1937 Singer Featherweight during Saturday's Placemat Palooza at the Grand Traverse County Senior Center Network in Traverse City. The event, organized by InterQuilten, is part of a campaign to collect between 400 and 500 handmade placemats for seniors in the Meals on Wheel program in Grand Traverse, Antrim and Manistee Counties. The placemats will be distributed with the seniors' holiday meals in December. "The drivers say that people just cherish them," said InterQuilten owner Tawni Young. "It's a reminder that someone out there cares about them." The placemat collection is ongoing, and Young says she hopes to hold another event before early December.
