Representatives from the Gold Country Chapter of the American Sewing Guild have presented Amador County Sheriff Martin Ryan with 24 handmade cuddle quilts to be given out by deputies to children who have experienced a traumatic event. The Amador County Gold Country Community Service Co-Chairs, Jan Hopkins and Peggy Breyer, along with Roseanne Lauters said of the quilts, "Please use them knowing they were made with love and care by American Sewing Guild members. Guild members, as well as generous members of the community donated the fabric." Sheriff Ryan thanked the members of the guild saying, "This is a great example of the best of Amador County -- the community partnering with law enforcement to help those in need." The cuddle quilts will be placed in each deputy’s car where they can be immediately given out as the need arises.
