Forest City's first Annual Quilt Show was a huge success in the eyes of this beholder. The pulled pork sandwiches with all the trimmings served up by Terese and Amber was delicious and plentiful. Artisans Corale, Madeliene, Pam, Sherrie, and Sandi brought beautiful hand-crafted aprons, jewelry, soaps, baskets, sauces, baby items, and bookmarks.

Ian and his friends from Pike played some wonderful original music. The Dancehall was spiffed up with extra displays of dolls, old door knobs, vintage dresses, new photos, AND quilts!

Feature Quilter, Robi, was not in attendance but her beautiful quilts were. Amber showed her Grandmother's quilts, Sandra brought her quilts over from Downieville, Cherfy brought out the 1976 bi-centennial quilt her mother and the ladies of the area made. Plus there were many others on display.

The "Spinsters" canceled, but Birdsong brought her spinning wheel to demo. There were crafts for the children, old-fashioned toys o play with and a sprinkler set up for water play. The majority of the talent came from Alleghany, Forest City and Pike...tiny and talented.

Thank you again, BJ and the Sierra County Arts Council for your continuing support. A big thanks goes out to the Alleghany Mining Museum for their kind donations to the raffle and the businesses in Nevada County for their gift certificates of $50 and $25. We had some happy winnters. I cannot begin to give enough thanks to my friends and especially my husband for believing in my idea and for playing along.

Our next event is the Famous Forest City Applefest, Sunday, October 16, 2022.
