On Friday, Nov. 13th, three Juniper Village residents
attended the Quilt Show at the Lebanon Expo Center. Over 150 quilts were on display, plus there
were several interactive booths, a silent auction and vendors selling fabric
and supplies for sewing. All three
ladies were avid seamstresses, and two of the three have their own sewing
machines here at Juniper Village. Sara
Jane is currently making dresses for her great-granddaughters, and Katie is
making pillowcases for children at Hershey Medical Center, where recently the 1
millionth pillowcase was presented from all quilt guilds in the Central PA
area! Katie commented that she wishes
that she was younger, as she would like to try to make some of the quilts that
she saw that day. Sara Jane, a former
4-H leader, ran into many people that she knew from her days of helping with
the Home Ec. Area of the Lebanon Fair, and Elizabeth was hoping to be able to
buy a quilt. There were some "mug
rugs" for sale for only $2.00, some of which were made and donated by
Katie! Everyone had a wonderful day
looking at all of the beautiful quilts and getting inspired to keep sewing!
