The 42nd Appalachian Treasures Quilt
Show (ATQS), will be held at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center on Aug. 2628.
The goal of the ATQS is to showcase the
traditional art of quilting by providing a
place for today’s quilters to display their
work.
The theme category of this year’s show will
feature the traditional design entitled Drunkard’s Path and its variations.
This design uses two curved pieces of fabric
constructed to create many intricate patterns
when blocks are combined. Some of its variations are entitled Fool’s Puzzle, Around the
World, Falling Timber and Snowball.
Stop by The Quilter’s Country Store featuring the latest quilting items, fabric and
patterns.
Vendors are:
• Quilts and More
• English Garden
• Itchin’ 2 BeStitchin’
This year’s ATQS will again feature “Comfort Quilts.” These are baby quilts made primarily by Hands All Around and Sew Sew
Sisters Quilt Guilds.
These quilts will be distributed throughout the year by two local agencies. Anyone
interested in helping with this community
project may contribute a quilt by contacting
a member of the committee or bringing it to
registration on Aug. 24.
Applications for this year’s show are now
available.
The deadline for entry was Aug. 1. Any applications received after that time may not
be included in the show’s printed program. If
you have questions about the show, call Judith Bragg at 304-763-3619 or Gail McCray

Tamarack plans 3 days of fun
Tamarack draws half a million
visitors annually to enjoy the visual beauty, Appalachian sounds
and distinctive aromas. As part
of the Appalachian Festival,
Tamarack artisans will demonstrate how they make their
products starting Friday, Aug.
26 through Sunday, Aug. 28,
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
Marty Schaerer will be creating her lovely, original jewelry
designs in many different styles.
She graduated from college with
her art degree and tried her
hand at teaching, for two years.
She was quick to realize that
she would rather be making
jewelry than teaching others
how to.
She quit teaching and opened
her first jewelry studio ... in her
bedroom. Thirty years later she
is still designing and making
jewelry in her studio in White
Sulphur Springs. Nate Parr is a
woodcarver from Parkersburg.
Nate specializes in hand carved
and chain-saw carved wood
items.
We will wrap up the weekend
with Tamarack’s Sunday@Two
featuring Bobby Maynard &
Breakdown, a three man bluegrass band, who will perform in
the Hulett C. Smith Auditorium.

and interests. Kids can
just drop in with their
parents and Make-NTake a traditional craft. In 2016, the museum will
present the exhibit: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. A
permanent exhibit, “Puzzle Quest” is a favorite with
school children and families alike.

on the Appalachian frontier. Visitors may also tour
