A piece of history

The High Prairie and District Museum held an open house March 8 from 2 to 4 p.m. and invited the High Prairie Quilt Guild to celebrate National Quilt Month, which is held each year in March. Members of the guild attended and set up several displays (quilts) for the public to enjoy. The museum served tea and treats for visitors. Above, the museum pulled the Sisters of Providence quilt from storage for display. The quilt, donated by Arline Spendiff, was meticulously hand-pieced and quilted by some of the nuns who managed Providence Hospital in High Prairie from 1920-69. The High Prairie Quilt Guild holds an annual show and sale each fall and regularly donates quilts to those in need.
