A quilt square that represents the Town of Webb, will soon be added to a giant New York State Quilt along with the quilt squares from other townships from across the state.
The quilt will eventually be on display in the State Museum in Albany. The New York State Quilt is a project of the Association of Public Historians of New York State.
The quilt square for Webb was designed and created by Town of Webb retired school teachers, Annette Eyre and Louise Watson.
There are no stitches in their quilt block because Wonder Under, a paper-backed commercial product, was used to bind the two fabrics together.
“The square we made is very suggestive of our Adirondack heritage. We’ve incorporated mountains, water, sky and a Parson’s guide boat,” said Watson.
“Our quilt square was designed for our area of the Adirondacks. We received permission from the Adirondack Museum to use the guide boat logo because Parson’s Guide Boats was a large industry in our early history,” Eyre said.
