During July, for the nation's 250th birthday, the White Mountains Community College Fortier Library will feature 19 beautiful patriotic quilts, wall hangings, table runners, bed runners, and especially “Quilts of Valor.” The artists of this exhibition are all members of the area’s local quilting guild, including Arlene Lambert, Terry Montminy, Nancy Bangs, Cecile Strout, Sherry Morin, Gloria Bacon and Joyce Baillargeon.
This enthusiastic group, who call themselves the Material Girls, has been active for about 30 years, and currently has 20 committed members. “We meet once a week on Tuesdays in the community room at St. Kieran Community Center for the Arts. We sew either on our own projects or group projects for the benefit of our community. We have made dozens of quilts for fire victims and needy families, and our focus is making Quilts of Valor for combat veterans. New members with or without experience are always welcome.”
