Quilt Turning at the fair...importance of a quilt label
One of the gals from my guild was telling us about the upcoming quilt turning event at the Lodi Agricultural Fair. I decided to go today to see it. It was wonderful! There were 43 quilts. They were shown one at a time and each quilt story was shared. The stories were written by the quiltmaker or quilt recipient. There were contemporary quilts as well as traditional quilts. The very last quilt was from the 1920's and it had no story. The quilt is in someone's family and no one in the family remembers where it came from or who made it. I just thought I'd share (again) how important it is to have a label on a quilt!
