Warm and snuggly, an explosion of color, tiny little stitches, memories of the past, heirlooms to pass on, all of these things are a way to think about the art of quilting. The Sullivan County Fall Festival with Lumberjack/ Chainsaw carving competitions will be held at the fairgrounds in Forksville on October 13 and 14. A mainstay of the festival has been the quilt show and sale. The show has grown over the years and now fi lls most of the Flag Building on the grounds. Inside that building you will find bed-size quilts, wall hangings, potholders, placemats, quilted animals, Christmas ornaments, seasonal decorations, and a variety of other items. During the weekend there will be groups of quilters demonstrating the art of quilting. At times you will be able to see the treadle sewing machine being used just as your grandmother may have used it during her day. Another highlight of the show is the Block Contest. Anyone can enter the contest. For details about the block contest call Maxine Kane at 363-2047 or Darnyl Vermeire at 946-4087. The blocks that are submitted this year are used the following year to create a raffl e quilt. This year’s quilt is a sampler made from blocks with state names. The proceeds from the quilt are given to the Sullivan County
