The latest quilt made by the Friendsville Library Quilters was unveiled as part of a special program held during April’s National Library Week. This beautiful quilt titled “Sunflowers Afield” is the 19th quilt made by the group, which will be raffled off to benefit the Friendsville Branch of the Ruth Enlow Library of Garrett County.
This queen-sized hand-made quilt features a glorious display of sunflowers with lovely natural hues of yellow, orange, blue, green, and brown.
“I had the privilege of watching these ladies transform tiny pieces of fabric into an intricate array of sunflowers. It’s always remarkable to see what goes into creating these lovely quilts. These ladies do fantastic work and we are so appreciative of the support and dedication they give to the Library,” said Melissa Custer, Friendsville Branch Manager.
Pictured in the photo are members of the quilters group, from left to right: (seated) Ina Hicks and Mimi Demaree, Louise Lawrence, Sheila Convis, Glenna Hoecker, Mary Frazee, and Michele Liston. Not present for the photo were Jennifer Pletta and Kate Tichnell.
Tickets are on sale for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. They can be purchased from any member of the quilters group, Ruth Enlow Library (Friendsville & Oakland locations), Friendsville Pharmacy, Friendsville Post Office, Little Sandy’s Restaurant (Sand Flat Road location), and Four Seasons Stitchery (Grantsville).
The drawing will be held on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
