Lot no. 1, the one and only Elberta Solstice Festival Quilt. It’s a full/double (54″ x 75″) coverlet handcrafted out of Elberta Solstice T-shirts and donated as a benefit to the Village by artisans Rosemary Tanner and Cynthia Larson.
This is a truly unique piece of Americana, made in 2015 to commemorate the Elberta Solstice Festival, which has been held annually since 2002. → → →
