Macrame A lady's dream became a reality this summer. It wasn't a fantasy cruise into the Caribbean or a flight to the Orient. It was a quilt ... a beautiful quilt representing her native Morrow County. As early as January of this year, visions of the quilting project danced in Theta Lowe's head. She calls it a dream. In March, she went to Birdine Tullis, county extension agent, and asked if she thought the county could come up with a Bicentennial quilt. "You can do anything you want to," Birdine told her. An article appeared in the March Extension Service newsletter and within a couple weeks, Theta was bombarded with phone calls and letters from Interested quitters. The letters didn't just come from Morrow County. There was one from Portland and even one from Tacoma, Washington. Theta's dream was becoming a reality. She purchased the materials and gave them to all the volunteers and they designed 25 blocks, choosing different facets of the county's history as their theme. Theta said 24 different people pitched in on the blocks but that maybe hundreds helped with design, comments, and contributions. It took six months to complete the work. In fact, the quilt was finally finished 15 minutes before it was to go on display at the Morrow County Fair. At Heppner and Boardman's Harvest Festival, the quilt was met with many interested eyes. At the Oregon State Fair, It received a special, Bicentennial award in the form of a limited edition plate. . Many different phases of the county are depicted In the large f quilt. Theta said it was "fascinating" and said she enjoyed looking up the history almost as much as the actual quilting. The 25 blocks depict the following: the state of Oregon and Morrow County; Morrow County and the Oregon Trail; the County Courthouse; the first brand in the area which was the Double Wagon Ranch; the 60 schools In the district, shown by a one room school house; Valby Lutheran Church with the cemetery nearby; the sheep industry; Wheat-Staff of Life; Cecil's store on the Oregon Trail with the post office; The Railroad in 1898; Creamaline horses and mules; Lena Post Office and store; the Heppner Flood of 1903; Timber and Penland Lake; a typical farm home cntury ranches; REA 1938 Electrified the County; the library and museum; the Hardman Oddfellow's Lodge; Kea Creek Grange; Pheasant hunting In North Morrow County; Kinzua logging mill; Watermelon from Irrigon; the potato industry; the county fair grounds; and People Our Ancestors. The lady from Portland did the flood block because of family connections and the lady from Washington worked in the Cecil block because she used to live there. The quilt will now go on display at the museum as a permanent donation. mi Dnmoniiimininiiiiimmminiiu I Rosenbush-Crowell wed r AV. and Mrs. Gene Crowe i a a a ..t..t.ttjuuuLMJti tm -- ixajttJLi M i Kristy Rosenbush became the bride of Gene Crowell July 31 in a garden ceremony at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Myrick of Naches, WA.
