GRAVETTE -- The Gravette Historical Museum and members of the PieceMaker Quilt Club will cohost a Gravette quilt show from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Civic Center (Boys and Girls Club meeting place). The Civic Center is located on Charlotte Street, S.E., just west of the public library and swimming pool.

Fifty quilts will be displayed in the show, many made by members of the PieceMaker Quilters, and vendors will be on hand offering quilting supplies and fabric. A quilt appraiser will be available and will appraise quilts for a fee.

This is simply a quilt show, not a competition. No prizes or ribbons will be given. The show is open to the public and no admission is charged. Quilters and quilt enthusiasts from throughout the area are invited to attend.

The PieceMakers Quilt Club meets the third Saturday of each month at the Church of Christ annex, 202 Irving Street, S.W., in Gravette. New members and guests are always welcome.
