A focal quilt hung as part of the CVQG quilt display included one made by member, Joyce Pearce, from antique feed sacks. Her quilt was enhanced with yo-yo’s and buttons, tied on to the quilt with the original string ties from the feed sacks.Quilts a part of the CVQG display included both hand and machine-quilted ones and ranged in size from miniatures to king size and were all made by Guild members.The Green Room Community Theatre collaborated with the Catawba County Museum of History and the Catawba County Library to bring focus to the art of quilting during the month of March, which was National Quilting Month.
