Airing of the Quilts- Fun for All




Blustery weather didn't keep away the quilters and quilt afficianados who attended Saturday's and Sunday's second annual "Airing of the Quilts." Sponsored by the Alpha Delta Chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha as a benefit for the South Sebastian Historical Society, the show at the Rock Gym featured approximately 125 contemporary quilts and several vendors. Vintage quilts were displayed at the Old Jail Museum Complex.

At the Museum Complex, entertainment and education were provided by Lori Brown of Sarahkate Fibers (spinning), Ada Sanderson (quilting on a treadle machine), vocalist/ guitarist/ song writer Hershel Parker, and historical re-enactors Lawbreakers and Peacemakers. Also on hand were the Master Gardeners, selling plants.
