ASHLAND – Old Uniontown Quilt Guild is proud to continue the Veterans Day Quilt Donation Project at the 2023 Ashland County Fair, in conjunction with the Hospice of North Central Ohio (HNCO) Veterans Service. The Old Uniontown Quilt Guild was started in 1988. This will be the 33rd year that the guild will host a quilt show.
For details and instructions, please see the list below. For additional questions, email homerun@zoominternet.net. At the 2023 Ashland County Fair there will be quilt donations and a raffle to honor the veterans and thank them for their service.
• Quilts/afghans will be entered in the fair through a non-judged class. Individuals donating must be an Ashland County resident or an Old Uniontown Quilt Guild member. There will be no entry fee for entering the donated quilt/afghan.
• Any style of quilt (including ragged or tied) or afghan (crochet or knitted) will be accepted.
• Quilts/afghans should have a patriotic theme with red, white and blue colors but the overall design should not be a flag (fabric with flags is acceptable). They should be gender-neutral and not military branch specific.
• Quilts/afghans must be a minimum of 55” x 65”.
• Quilts/afghans must have a label with the name of the person who made the item and the date and can leave room for the recipient's name if they would like.
