The 44th annual Sequoyah County OHCE Quilt Show and Bake Sale will be held April 4-5 at the Sequoyah County Fair building, on the corner of Redwood & Shurley. Doors will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

You may pick up quilt show entry forms at the OSU Extension Service Office in the Sequoyah County Courthouse at 120 E. Chickasaw, Ste. 107. Entries are accepted until April 3, but to be mentioned in the quilt show booklet, they must be received by March 27. Completed entries can be mailed to: BJ Covington, 102507 S. 4570 Road, Vian, OK 74962.

Quilts should be brought to the fair building from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday, April 3. The owner of the quilt must have their name, address, and phone number pinned to the lower right hand corner of the quilt back. Due to space restrictions, entries are limited to three quilts per person. They should be numbered 1 through 3 in priority of the quilter’s choice.

We will not accept quilts entered in our previous shows. The quilts must be hand or machine stitched, bound and finished, or hemmed. Release forms will be given during check-in, and must be presented to pick up quilts following the show.

Quilts will be taken down and available for pick up after 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Sponsors are not responsible for lost or damaged entries left after the show.

Admission to the quilt show is $5 per person. Tickets are also available to win a beautiful queen-sized Lone Star variation quilt, titled “Stars in a Midnight Sky.” It was hand pieced by a longtime resident of Sequoyah County, the late Charlotte Covington. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5, available for purchase at the door.

Tables will display miscellaneous hand-crafted and baked goods for sale. The bake sale will include cakes, pies, cookies, fried pies and other goodies.

Lunch will be available for purchase on Friday for $12. The lunch menu includes chicken and dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, rolls, assorted salads, dessert, and a drink. Individually priced snacks and drinks will be available on Saturday.
