The two ladies are part of a group of quilters.

They meet at the Mohassan Grotto in Davenport once a month making quilts, blankets, bags and teddy bears.

Arnold nominated Kranz for the Ascentra Credit Union/News 8 "Pay It Forward" award, because of all she does for others near and far.



"It goes to other states, we sent quilts to Moore, Oklahoma, last year for tornado victims and sent them to Missouri last month. We just sent them to just outside Peoria, just a few months ago for tornado victims. That was kind of my goal when I retired, I had to find something to keep busy" says Kranz. She may be busy but she is not alone in her mission to help others.
