Dusty BB Club displays historic quilts in Colfax

Dusty BB Club will celebrate its 90th anniversary with a display of historic quilts May 1-28 at The Center at Colfax Library. Some of the quilts were made by members from about 1930 to 1945. Many of the the quilts were donated to various causes and needs.

The group resumed making quilts in 1975 at the request of the younger members who wanted to learn how to quilt. They continued until about 1993. Some of these quilts will also be on display.

Dusty BB Club, a women’s service and social group, formed on May 20, 1927.
