The regional nature of the Fenimore Quilt Show, which opened this morning at the Cooperstown Art Association, was very much in evidence, as Elaine Schwan, top photo, right, and Kathy Meek of Norwich’s Chenango Piecemakers’ toured the offerings. One of Schwan’s two entries, QFL, is on the far well, which won a contest organized by Sew Nice, the Norwich quilting shop. The quilt in the foreground is one of Meek’s offerings, 92 Cobblestone Square, made up of 92 separate pieces assembled in the cobblestone pattern. Quilt show organizer Jean Lyon, at right in inset photo (chatting with Karen Prestidge, Walton), said the Piecemakers’ load up a car annually with entries.
Fenimore Quilt Club Show organizer Jean Lyons, cemter. assisted by Cathy Kemp, left, and Robin Lettis, spent today at the Cooperstown Art Association at 22 Main, registering entries for the club’s annual show, which opened Saturday, Feb. 11, and runs through Sunday the 26th. As a fundraiser for the club, a queen size hand-quilted item will be raffled off at the show’s end. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
