Meet these guys with BIG hearts and a BIG project from Sew Yeah Quilting out of Las Vegas. They're coming to Alaska providing quilts for the Homeless here in Alaska. Check it out! Current service project Souper Service Project

Brody Tippets joined us to tell us about the project.

Besides servants' hearts, these guys have arguably the most entertaining sewing show in the world! After all, where else can you find a sewing show with 3 guys that blow up a sewing machine! This is right down our alley on the Big Alaska Show! Now that's what Mike Ford and I call a sewing show!
