A local quilting club is currently brightening the Highland County District Library with their many and varied patterns.
Their display marks the second year that the Country Quilters have been featured at the library. The club was first formed in 1985. Since that time, members have patched and stitched their way into the fabric of the local community.

The club has an upcoming quilt show on July 14 and 15 at the senior high school. Proceeds from the show go towards a variety of local charities and organizations, said club members Jim and Sue Lehne.
"We do not keep any of the money," Sue Lehne added.
Club member Cathy Hone also said that, throughout the year, Country Quilters contribute to other charitable projects.
"The last couple years, we have all made patriotic quilts," and given them to the VA in Georgetown, Hone said. She added that in January, the club makes baby quilts for the year's first newborns.
Highland County District Library Assistant Supervisor Donna O'Dom said, "It would be hard to find any nicer people than this group of talented quilters." She added, "Also, we have lots of great quilt books for anyone interested in learning the art of quilting."
