Farmington Grange No. 12 Quilt Show

Time: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Location: Farmington Grange in W. Farmington at 124 Bridge Street

It is the 40th anniversary of the Maine Mountain Quilters.  In celebration,
they and the Farmington Grange No. 12 are holding a quilt show May 19 and 20
featuring Pat Libby and many of her 200 plus quilts.


It was Pat and Virginia Morrell who organized the chapter in 1978.  Since
then, Pat has been very active as President, Program Chairperson and since
1996, Treasurer of the chapter.  She also has been very active in the State
Pine Tree Quilters Guild as a Director, Treasurer, Quilt Show Co-chairperson,
2nd Vice President, and for 21 years responsible for membership records.


Pat has been sewing and quilting for a life time.  After a career as an
elementary school teacher, she assisted in the Home Economics Dept. at UMF
and even started a sewing class business called The Crooked Seam.  In the
Grange, her influence ranged from Secretary in the Maine State Grange office
to Secretary of the State Grange, a service that lasted until 2001.  Pat has
held the position of Secretary for 45 years in the Farmington Grange.


Residents of Farmington for the last 55 years, Pat and her husband Gerry, a
retired school principal, have two sons, seven grandchildren and eight
great-grandchildren.


The show will be held at the Farmington Grange in W. Farmington at 124
Bridge Street on Saturday, May 19 from 10-3 and Sunday, May 20 from 11-3.  A
donation of $5.00 is suggested.  Chances to win a "raffle quilt" will also
be available. The lucky winner will be drawn on Sunday at 2:45.  The Grange
will have lunch/snacks available.

 

To better serve you the Pins and Needles Quilt Shop in downtown Farmington will be open Saturday 10 AM-4 PM and Sunday from 11AM - 4PM during the weekend of the show.
