Bring your favorite collectible quilt to share with others who appreciate the art of quilting. The April program includes works by Haydn and Sibelius as well as the powerful 'Great Gate of Kiev' by Moussorgsky. We need more string players to balance the wind and percussion players we now have. You'll want to make plans to attend a 3-day quilting retreat March 24 through 26 at Canter's Cave 4H Camp near Jackson. Quilt Camp is sponsored by The Down by the River Quilt Guild, and any quilter is welcome to attend, but your early reservation is needed.
Fees are very reasonable.
Don't forget to bring along your copy of last year's tax return and any current forms. All these students are 6th graders at Valley Middle School. At the Portsmouth Public Library all during the month of March, antique and vintage quilts are on exhibit, as well as recently made and contemporary quilts. The Ohio Underground Railroad Quilt, the focal point of the exhibition, has been lent to the show by the Friends of Freedom Society. Several programs are planned in conjunction with the show.
