4 Upcoming Events Quilts for Bed Turning We are still looking for quilts (wall hangings are ok also) for the bed turning on Sunday at 2PM at the show. You can drop them off at the Grace Community Church during the 'quilt drop off' hours on Wednesday, October 8 from Noon to 7PM. Please make sure that each item is in a plastic bag to keep it clean during transport, that it has your name on it or in the bag. If possible, please turn in a sheet of paper with additional helpful information including the name of the quilt top maker, the quilter if different, and the year made. Include any other interesting information to share with the audience such as whether it was for a gift/occasion or any special technique used, any names of unusual patterns, or a personal story of its significance. I will try to return them right after the turning, but if you are not there on Sunday, then at the October meeting.
