The official quilt for the
Quilt Walk Festival is the one
with seven men who walked
over the mountain from
Panguitch to Parowan and back
on quilts for flour to save
the starving pioneers
that first winter in 1865.
The names of the seven are
under the hats...a poem
was written about the event.
The Indian Basket quilt is
my favorite for this year's
festival which had more
hanging quilts posted
than ever before.
There is a tractor parade,
an art festival, races,
and many quilt classes.
Women flock to this event.
It is unique.
My goodness these are beautiful. What a great event this has become. It may be Panquitch's greatest claim to fame. That and it's winter temperatures in June. Still things do grow well and you always have interesting things to do in a friendly atmosphere and a village that is easy to get around in. Not a bad place to live. I notice you are in the ideal spot for people to stop in and visit too. This is valuable asett.
