Quilting Program next Tuesday

Posted

This quilt block, created by Deb Knutson of Trent, will be on display next Tuesday, Oct. 17 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church as part of the Brookings and Flandreau #1189 Coteau Quester’s quilting documentation by Mary Fitzgerald. She recently completed a book, “South Dakota Quilts and Quilt Makers” featuring quilts from several local women. A tasting tea begins at 6:30 and the program at 7 p.m. An $8 donation will include refreshments and door prizes. There will be a raffle drawing for an autographed book and viewing of quilts. Here, Knutson shows the commemorative block she created for South Dakota Public Broadcasting as a complimentary gift. SDPB produced a documentary, now on DVD, “Points of Pride: South Dakota’s Quilting Heritage,” which is available with a donation to SDPB. Different donation levels are available and may include the quilt block, the book and the DVD. The documentary will also be shown at the program.
