Quilting serves as a tangible link to the past, preserving family histories, traditions, and legacies for future generations. Through quilts, families pass down stories, symbols, and techniques, keeping alive the memories and experiences of those who came before.
Quilting has long been a community activity, bringing people together to share stories, laughter, and companionship. Quilting provides opportunities for social bonding and support within communities. For these reasons and more, Historic Granville was proud to host our annual Quilt Festival on October 5.
With 33 categories for women, men and youth, the Quilt Festival had 141 entries of quilts and quilted items. A special thanks to this year's sponsors, Janice & Ben Lynch and Janie and Darrin Phillips. Pictured and listed below are First Place Winners.
