Quilt of the Month

March Quilt of the Month: Ohio Star

Stop by the library this month to see our beautiful Ohio Star quilt on display! This remarkable piece has a story that stretches around the world.

The blocks were collected by Janice Olson, one of the founding members of the Honey Bee Quilters, through an internet quilt block exchange for beginners in February and March of 1997.  The blocks were contributed by quilters from across the globe.

The blocks came from:
Humboldt, Iowa
Windsor, Ontario, Canada
East Hartford, Connecticut
North Bondi, New South Wales, Australia
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Chicago, Illinois
Lake Oswego, Oregon
Cleveland, Tennessee

The quilt top was then lovingly assembled by Deb Loss of the Honey Bee Quilters.

Come see this piece of quilting history while it’s here!
