The Carson Valley Quilt Guild will conduct a bed turning quilt display in a free presentation at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park at 10 a.m. Saturday.
A bed turning is an opportunity to share the art and stories of heritage quilts. In this program, members of the guild will display a collection of quilts, share the story of each quilt and discuss the history of quilting.
The presentation is part of the park’s Western Arts & Crafts Series and is sponsored by Bently Ranch, SoaringNV, The Record-Courier and the Frances C. and William P. Smallwood Foundation.
