Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild Meeting

June 9, 2026

  Our Syracuse Quilt Guild was commissioned to create a quilt 

   for the City of Syracuse's new museum to celebrate the United States 

250th anniversary, as well as historical Syracuse City. 

      Maria  headed up this amazing project, 

          and 24 members created  blocks.  Pam quilted, hand bound and labeled it.

  It was presented to the Syracuse Museum at our monthly meeting

where it will be displayed beginning with Heritage Days and thereafter. 

Pam introduced the Syracuse City Museum Directors.
