Annual MMQG Quilt Show Set for July 28-29

Shortly after the Gulf War started in August of 1990, a group of ladies in Ronan, Jessie Merwin, Pat Anderson and Peggy Olson, got together to create a quilt of flags to honor those fighting in Desert Storm. As it turned out, the war was over in early 1991 before the quilt was finished. The ladies, having enjoyed working together on this ‘project with a purpose’, were inspired to begin what is now known as the Mission Mountain Quilt Guild. From its inception, the group has worked to create quilts for donation and also has put on an annual quilt show where members of the guild display their individual quilts.
