The Clearmont Women’s Club is keeping an old tradition alive with annual quilting bees, making colorful, warm quilts for many different charities. At one time, every farm wife knew how to quilt, and made colorful quilts for the family beds for warmth. Today, quilts are becoming an art form as well as very usable bedroom accessory.
On Saturday, Jan. 23, around 15 people, 12 Women’s Club members and five other quilters, joined in the fun at the Clearmont Community Center. A large table and frame was set up, and the quilters brought colorful material be sewed into quilts. A pot luck lunch was served at noon.
