Join us on the third Saturday of October for our last program of the year. Beginning at 9:00am, there will be a silent auction preview of quilting fabric, books, magazines, and quilt accessory items. At 10:00am, Becky Hughes will discuss the importance of quilts, how fabric and designs have changed over time, and some little-known facts about quilting. There will be a quilt there for visitors to try their hand at quilting. If
anyone attending has a quilt they wish to share or have questions about, we encourage you to bring it along.Following the presentation, there will be a silent auction until 1:00pm. Proceeds from the auction will be applied to the restoration of the ground-level board floor in the Mouns Jones/Kirlin House. The program will take place in the White Horse Inn. The suggested donation for the presentation is $2/person. All proceeds benefit the Trust.
