Female inmates showed their finished quilts using equipment and supplies provided by the "Incarcerated Persons Welfare Fund."
One of their works included a "thank you" for retired Fresno County Sheriff, Margaret Mims.

The program started about a year ago, giving women an opportunity to learn sewing techniques that could be used in a future job.
The next project includes pillows and quilts to be donated to the Marjaree Mason Center to help comfort domestic violence victims at the shelter.
