Coincidentally, on Oct. 15 an Antique Quilt Show will occur at the Bedford Presbyterian Church from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. At least 50 antique quilts, owned by church parishioners, will be displayed. Tea and cookies will be served. The event originated with the BPC quilting group, called The Bedford Quilters, led by Jeanne Morrison and Marcia Thomas. One quilt is a red and white Friendship Quilt from 1859, given to the minister by the churchs young people as a token of friendship, which is being loaned to the show by the Bedford Historical Society.
