to preserve the historical significance and promote quilting as an art form.
Co-directors for the Coshocton Canal Quilters are Debbie Ames and her sister Sandy Honaker, who said there were about 135 items in the actual show this year.
“ We also have a featured family, a mom and three daughters that are all members of our guild. It is awesome to see the diversity of one family and their take on quilting,” Ames said.
Nancy Hatem and her daughters Josie Disbennett, Maggie Williams and Nikki Fareley were the featured family this year.
“ I quilted originally. Then my oldest daughter Josie started, and she enjoyed it and actually joined our quilt guild as well as a lot of my friends,” Hatem said.“ Then her sisters became interested. They come to my house, and we all sew our own little projects, and they all three joined the guild. They all find comfort in sewing.”
“ My mom started quilting when we were very little, but she put it aside until we were older,” said

spending time together as well. They were all involved with 4-H and enjoyed the sewing projects.
Shirley Stustz, a member of the Coshocton Quilt Guild, wanted to experiment and find out how color is affected when you use the same fabric and the same pattern by reducing the size of the blocks in the three quilts she made. She found the color becomes more intense, but the pattern becomes less important.
Her first quilt was made to the exact size of the pattern, a 10-inch block. The second she cut 25 blocks in half and made 5-inch blocks. It took 100 blocks to make the same-size quilt, and she found the color became more intense. On the third quilt, she cut the blocks in half again and found the colors were even more intense and the patterns became unimportant. Stustz is known internationally and has authored a book on the pattern she created.

Nine gift baskets containing everything from a kitchen basket to a new quilters basket, a scrapbooking basket and a basket made by the Rose of Sharon including a two-night stay for two at the Rose of Sharon Quilt Retreat were for sale, and vendors were selling fabric and quilt-related items at the boutique. A cafe also was available, so no one went away hungry.
“ The quilt show takes a village, and many hands went into making this happen,” Honaker said.
The guild has several service projects donating to various groups. Members of the guild make quilts to donate to different causes including veterans, nursing homes within the county and sometimes within the state.
Coshocton Canal Quilters meets the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p. m. at Roscoe United Methodist Church. Dues are $ 25 a year to become a member. They offer free classes. They constantly learn more every month at their meetings, and every year they have a getaway weekend for quilting and fellowship.
