Yo-yo quilt to make debut at fair

ORRINGTON – The Christmas fair committee of the First United Methodist Church of Orrington will hold its annual fundraiser Saturday, Nov. 4. The fair’s theme is “A Calico Christmas.”

Since January, the committee has been meeting and working on a calico yo-yo quilt that will be featured at the fair. The quilt is made of 1,300 calico 31/4-inch puffed circles of various colors requiring 14 yards of material, not including backing. Charlotte Lawton of Orrington donated materials for the quilt.

The public will have the opportunity to view the hand-made quilt before to the Christmas fair by attending a church supper. The committee will display the quilt Friday, Sept. 22, at the chicken pie supper, and Friday, Oct. 27, at the ham and bean supper.
