Lone Star Exhibit at Richland Co. Library
The Devine Quilters Guild will have an exhibit featuring the Lone Star Quilt design.
1. We define a Lone Star Quilt (also known as The Mathematical Star, The Star of Bethlehem, Star of the East,, Morning Star, etc.) as made of what appears to be diamond shapes to form an “eight point star, points from the center out“. The star may be appliquéd or pieced.
2. All quilts must have a hanging sleeve that ends before the edge of the quilt on both sides and a dowel that extends beyond the hanging sleeve but cannot be seen from the front of the quilt. The dowel must be large enough to insert a screw hanger in the end so that the library can hang the quilt. The library will hang any size quilt including king size as long as the dowel supplied by the quilter will support the quilt. They are willing to add extra hangers on the back of the quilt, as long as the quilter has slit the hanging sleeve to enable the attachment of more hangers. Talk to Helen if you don’t understand this.
3. Variations of the Lone Star are acceptable.
4. All quilts are due; finished, labeled, with hanging sleeve and dowel rod, at the Devine Quilter’s meeting on September 9th.
5. Only members of the Devine Guild may participate in the show.
6. The Committee reserves the right to reject quilts for pet hair, smoke and other odors. The Library reserves the right to not hang an item if it is contrary to their mission.
