105 Kansas Quilts 4 Kansas 150th

If you haven't seen the quilt exhibit "105 Kansas Quilts 4 Kansas 150th" at the Stauth Memorial Museum in Montezuma, hurry up and get there!  The exhibit features a quilt from each of the 105 Kansas Counties along with their histories.  The exhibit ends August 14.  Wichita County's quilt is a redwork quilt featuring the names of members of the First Methodist Church of Leoti, made in 1936 for the church's 50th anniversary. The quilt was raffled as a fundraiser and eventually ended up at the Wichita County museum.  It's just one of many beautiful quilts on display.
