With the cancellation of most rummage sales and bazaars, the Tobacco Valley Board of History quilters have moved their annual Christmas Bazaar online. The offerings are modest compared to previous years but there is an opportunity to purchase rare quilted offerings and hand-made one of a kind items. This year there are two hand quilted collectable quilts for sale. The hand quilting is meticulous and the designs divine.
There is a good selection of tied baby quilts. Plus two lap/twin sized tied flannel quilts are available. These quilts are very competitively priced. The fabric, piecing, and labor for the quilts is all donated.
The dish towels are embroidered. These are reminiscent of finds from grandmother’s kitchen. Hand embroidered towels are much less common today but very useful treasures. At the time of this writing there two one of a kind embroidered small table cloths and one dresser scarf.
Other items include homemade dog treats (my dogs love these), catnip mice, round and square scrubbies (I use these all the time), cloth Christmas ornaments (great stocking stuffers), phone pouches, aprons, sewer’s helper, cotton dish clothes, pan holders, pear butter, huckleberry preserves, spicy peach jam, lanyards, needle cases, pot holders, and kitchen towels.
All fund raised by the Christmas bazaar go to support and maintain the historical village.
