This beautiful piece of history was donated to the

McMinnville Senior Center by Norma Nellis with

the directive to raise money for the Senior Center.

The quilt dates back to the 1930’s with some of the

fabrics dating back to the 1920’s. The pattern is a

double wedding ring. The quilt was hand pieced

using scraps of period clothing and hand quilted at

10 stitches per inch. The quilt is in spectacular con-

dition and carries an estimated value of $1,000.

Purchase tickets at the front desk of the Senior

Center for $5 each. Drawing will be held when we

either sell 200 tickets or on December 15th. Help

us reach our goal of $1,000 and honor Norma’s

wishes.
