Quilters Hall of Fame Triple Anniversary Signature Quilt

Saturday, May 10, 2008

In 2009, The Quilters Hall of Fame will celebrate Marie Webster’s 150th birthday; the 30th anniversary of The Quilter’s Hall of Fame founding; and the 5th anniversary of the opening of the restored Marie Webster House as the headquarters of The Quilters Hall of Fame. Plans are already underway to celebrate these milestones!

One of the special events being organized by Quilter's Hall of Fame Honoree Georgia Bonesteel is a celebratory Triple Anniversary Signature Quilt made from fabric scraps from her own workroom. This quilt represents a major fund raising effort to help keep The Quilter's Hall of Fame open!

The completed quilt will be auctioned off during Celebration 2009 as we celebrate Marie Webster’s 150th birthday and The Quilter’s Hall of Fame 5th anniversary in Marie’s restored home. Honoree signatures will be included in the finished quilt! What an opportunity to participate in quilting history.

Quilters from far and near are encouraged to participate in this very special Anniversary Signature Quilt fundraiser by donating at least $10 or more per block. A donation of $50 is suggested for Quilt Shops, Quilt Guilds or other groups. A signature fabric strip and instructions will be mailed to you upon receipt of your donation. Your strip will be added to a block and the block added to the quilt once you sign and return the strip. If you would like to have your friends or family members participate also, you may purchase multiple blocks and send signature strips to them for signing or simply add their name to a strip yourself.

To participate send $10 for each Signature Strip you want to order along with a note requesting how many strips you want.
mail to: The Quilters Hall of Fame, PO Box 681, Marion, IN 46952.
The strips will be mailed to you. Then send the signed strip or strips back to The Quilters Hall of Fame.
