Local Quilters To Help
With Documentation Project
Quiltmaking, one of the im-
portant family based folk
arts that has endured through
the generations, is enjoyed by
a large number of people
from this area who formed
recently the Foothills
Quilters Guild which meets
monthly on first Thursdays at
7 p.m. at Cleveland County
Public Library.
“‘Quilts have been passed
down to descendants as
treasured family heirlooms.
Because quilts are cultural
documents which can be
“read”” by knowledgeable
folk lorists, we can learn
much about the life of the
quilt maker and the com-
munity in which they lived”,
said Mrs. Paul McGinnis, a
local quilt instructor who
helped form Guild which was
organized with 87° members"
with ‘Grace’ Withrow of
Shelby as its first president.
Mrs. McGinnis said that
Foothills Quilters Guild and
the Cleveland County
Historical Museum is taking
part in the state-wide | roject
of documenting North
Carolina quilts and the first
scheduled documenting day
is Saturday, Jan. 18th, from
10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the
Cleveland County Historical
Museum located in the old
courthouse on th square in
Shelby. The project is spon-
sored by the North Carolina
Museum of History and North
Carolina Quilt Symposium,
Inc. However, for local
documentation, the funding
and volunteers must come
from local sources. Local
volunteers, including Mrs.
McGinnis, Kathleen Walker,
Helen Van Dyke and Sue
Laughter, will be among
those registering and
documenting quilts as a ser-
vice to the public.
