Posted 14 February 2009
 A quilt show - including a quilt
display, workshop and lecture hosted by the Fayette County Barn Quilts
- will be held Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26.
Area quilters are invited to display their works at the open show.
Quilters are encouraged to indicate their interest in the contest by
signing up at One Block Over in West Union or Lou Ann's Quilt Garden in
Oelwein.
The show opens at 9 a.m. Saturday at North Fayette High school and
closes at 7 p.m. On Sunday, April 26, the show will be open from 10
a.m. until 4 p.m. Lunch will be offered from 10 a.m. to 2.
A workshop and lecture by quilt artist Debbie Bowles of Maple Island
Quilts, Minn., will be featured Saturday. Bowles will present a sewing
workshop beginning at 10 a.m., titled, "Bent Pieces." Cost includes the
pattern. Pre-registration is required. The workshop is limited to 20

Throughout the day, visitors are invited to view a bed turning at
