The Martinsburg Community Library held its quilt drawing Saturday, Dec. 5. The winner was Nancy Harris, who lives in Colorado. Holding the queen-sized quilt earlier this year were Director Danette Feathers (left) and administrative assistant Lori Perrin.
The winner of the quilt drawing sponsored by the Martinsburg Community Library was Nancy Harris, who lives near Denver, Colo.
There were 168 entries in the drawing which resulted in $1,680 for the library since the quilt was homemade and materials were donated by the Friends of the Library.
Harris is a friend of Martinsburg resident Nancy Newlin. Newlin and Harris taught together in Arlington, Va., and have remained friends and in touch. Several months ago in a phone call Newlin told Harris library news including the upcoming quilt drawing and that the drawing would be on Dec 5. Harris said,
"That was my mother's birthday," Harris said to Newlin. Newlin replied, "You should buy a ticket and you will probably win because it is your mother's birthday." Harris bought one ticket. Harris won!
Newlin called her friend to inform her that her name had been drawn as the winner of the quilt. She says Harris was very excited to win and was particularly pleased that it was homemade. The quilt has been sent to Colorado.
It is great that a little bit of Martinsburg will be in Colorado. Think what a conversation piece it will probably make.
