Quilt Exhibit
:M Church Here
Is oi Interest
To those Interested la rare an
tiques, the quilt exhibit, sponsor
ed by the ladies of the First Con
gregational church, Saturday, was
well worth the time and effort.
One hundred and ten entries were
made, ranging from plain white,
simple In design and artistry, to
the most detailed and complicated
patterns. Some of the. most inter,
estlng entries were of real histori
cal origin, dating as far back as
1791 and 1843.
Another worthy of mention was
a quilt of blue and white blocks,
pieced by a woman who Is over
80 years of age and totally blind.
The workmanship, in spite of the
handicap would compare with
some of less ' design and made
under normal conditions.
The Judges found It extremely
difficult to place the prize win
ning ribbons, but finally agreed
that Mrs. Charles Haskell . .be
awarded first prize for the best
modern quilt, Mrs. W. H. Graben
horst first for the best quilting
and Mrs. Rose Bahcock for the
best "old" quilt. jV
