SCHAEFFERSTOWN - If
you’re a quilt fancier, the Lebanon
Quilters’ Guild has a treat in store
for you. On June 8, the Guild is
sponsoring a quilt show and con
test at Historic Schaefferstown
which will feature 100 quilts in
eight categories.
According to Marlene Williams,
one of the show’s organizers, the
Guild is accepting the first 100
quilts, limiting the number
because of the space available in
the bam on the original Alexander
Schaeffer farm. The quilts will be
displayed on clotheslines in the
mam upper portion of the barn.
The show is open to anyone, and
already there have been entries
from neighboring areas in Penn
sylvania. There is a limit of one
quilt per person per category, and
first, second, and third place
ribbons will be awarded in each
category. Judging will be done
panel of four judges selected on the
basis of their expertise in various
areas.
The show was organized because
members of the Guild wanted to
see work from the community,
according to Hetty Wengert,
another one of the organizers. She
added, “We wanted to have one
because of all our enthusiasm.”
Indeed, Guild members are not
lacking for enthusiasm, and seem
to enjoy quilting above all else.
Lynn Trump wore a T-shirt which
proclaimed, “Quilting forever-

Housework whenever.” At the
group’s urging she shared some of
her “quilting” philosophy, in
cluding “Dust is a protective
covering for furniture” and “We
may skip a meal but never a
stitch.”
Calling quilting an art form,
Kitty Zackey, who also teaches
quilting, said, “I find it very
satisfactory.” Then she adds with
a laugh, “We don’t do housework.”
She went on to explain that the
judges will be looking at the
quality of the workmanship, choice
of color, choice and suitability of
fabrics.
Most of the quilts to be displayed
will be modem quilts, but there are

already some antique quilts en
tered. For this show there is no
tune limit on when the quilt was
completed.
Kitty points out that the chance
to enter a quilt in a show and
contest is an excellent learning
opportunity. She noted that the
judges at this show will offer
private critiques on each quilt.
“That will be very helpful,” she
noted.
It is evident that many Guild
members are relatively young,
many with pre-schoolers.
Nevertheless, quilting is an im
portant craft for them and they are
