Mrs. J.T. Forshee, Mrs. Anna Lucander, Mrs. Anna Kovlenko, Mrs. Margaret Stenhouse, Mrs. Annie Taylor, Mrs. Glen Harshenbarger and Mrs. Chester Tuck, carrying bright new quilts in bags, boxes and bundles arrived at The News building early this morning to sign up for the first entrants in the third annual Detroit News Quilt Show, Oct. 18-20 in the United States Naval Armory
First Quilts Put in Show
Exhibition to Open in Armory Oct. 18

Happy that their quilts were finished in time to be off their hands before the opening of the World Series, the first seven entrants in the third annual Detroit news Quilt Show arrived at the news building early Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Annie Taylor bringing a white crocheted spread, arrived at 6:15 a.m. and shortly afterward Mrs. J.T. Forshee, Mrs. Anna Kovlenko, Mrs. Margaret Stenhouse, Mrs. Annie Taylor, Mrs. Glen Harshenbarger and Mrs. Chester Tuck joined her.
Mrs. Stenhouse brought two quilts made by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Josephine Stenhouse, 71 years old, of Henrietta, Okla. Her quilts were the "Flower Garden" and 'star "and one was not begun until Aug. 12.
The gay, beautifully patterned coverlets are drifting into the Quilt Club Corner by the dozens and the editor, Edith B. Crumb is expecting at least 1,500 for the show, to be held in the United States Naval Armory, Oct. 18-20.
A prize is offered for the quilt made from the greatest number of pieces, and numerous spreads are already showing up made from an incredible number of multi colored snipping. From coast to coast they come, for the Quilt Club Corner has members in 40 states, Alaska and England.
The latest stir in the Quilt Club world was caused by a request for Lazy Daisy's autograph on a patch. It will be forthcoming according to Miss Crumb. Mrs. Forshee wants it for a new friendship counterhand she...(clipping cut-off)
Bring Your Quilts Early and Avoid the Crowd
By Edith B. Crumb
If there is one thing that Lazy Daisy just enjoys it is something going on all the time - that is, if it does not mean that she has to work. Well, she is happy now for there is hardly time to breathe in these quilt-taking-in days.
And what do you think happened Tuesday? Mrs. J.T. Forshee came to the News with her quilts (She was one of the first seven to enter quilts). In her bad was a patch from a friendship quilt she is making and asked if she could have Lazy Daisy's autograph. Well, you will just never know how delighted Lazy Daisy and it wasn't long before Mrs. Forshee had the patch back with the name written right across the center of it. She feels very proud that her name is to be in embroidery.
Autographed patches
Now she is autographing her patches so that you quilt makers will not get them mixed up with others. The names is on the back and toward the edge so that it will not interfere with the cutting of patches.
Remember, that quilts are now being received at the main building of The Detroit News, Second and Layfayette boulevards daily (except Sunday) until Oct. 12. The office opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. Please bring your quilts as early as possible.
A 65c Quilt
The first quilts were very interesting, one of them exhibited by Mrs. Forshee showing that anyone can quilt. This one cost by 65c. The top is pieces of cast- off clothing, the lining was made of five yards of material at 6 cents a yard and the filling cost 35c. The string for this tying was saved from package wrappings.
Every quilt is interesting and I wish I could describe each for you; but after all that would be unnecessary for I know that you will be over at the Armory to see them.
The first day Friday Oct. 18 the doors will be open at 2 p.m. and the other two days they will open at 10 a.m. staying open all three days until 10 p.m.
Please bring your quilts in as soon as possible.
