Still time to take part in auction quilt making You still have a chance to be a part of Auction history if you couldn't attend the children’s auction program last week at the Back Mountain Memorial Library. Quilt squares of fabric that will be in- corporated into a colorful children’s quilt will be available until May 2. Children may stop in the library during regular business hours to complete a square. Lois Noble, a talented quilter in the Back Mountain, has volun- teered her time and creativity to transform the colored squares of fabric into a beautiful quilt. Each child that participates will have his or her name sewn under their coloring picture on the quilt. The fin- ished quilt will then be auctioned on the block during the 62nd An- nual Auction scheduled for July 10, 11, 12 and 13 of this year. The finished quilt will be on display in the library before the auc- tion so that all the participants will be able to view it or have their picture taken by it before the auction. Call the library at 675-182 for more information. Richard L. Connor PUBLISHER 829-7202 rconnor@timesleader.com The Dallas Post Community Newspaper Group THE TIMES LEADER 15 N.
