KSFHQT Visits Woodson County

Sharon Heidemann, KSFHQT Wabaunsee County Rep, and Connie Larson, KSFHQT, visited the Woodson County Historical Society painters on April 20th in Yates Center. The group has been busy painting since their first barn quilt class given by the KSFHQT back in September, 2014. 

Soon the "Quilts Around the Square" will be added to the KSFHQT website, as well as many barn quilts through the town of Yates Center and out in the rural areas of Woodson County.

The Woodson County Historical Society painters are busy getting ready for the Sunflower Quilter’s Guild Quilt Show at the Riverside Community Building in Iola, Saturday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday noon - 4 p.m.  The historical society will have 25 2' x 2' barn quilts on display and for sale. The proceeds of the barn quilt sales goes to the Woodson County Historical Society for special projects.
