Tonya Krout of Durham sews blue binding on a quilt Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Chapel Hill. Members of the Durham-Orange Quilters' Guild made about 50 quilts for Hurricane Sandy victims in the Northeast. Krout's grandparents made quilts for their eight children and many of their grandchildren. Krout still has her red and gray quilt more than 50 years later. "It went to college with me. It goes everywhere with me," she says. "It's very much a comfort." The guild has about 200 members and meets the third Monday of each month at the church. Learn more at www.durhamorangequilters.com.
