Claremont Heritage Quilt The  27th  annual Claremont Heritage Quilt with this year's  theme "Flowers"
will be unveiled at Heritage's booth on July 4 in Memorial Park. Raffle tickets will be on sale - $2 each or $5 for 3. The winner of the Quilt will be drawn and announced at Village Venture on Saturday, October 24. Winner need not be present.
Crate labels date from the late 1800's through the 1940's. These colorful paper labels were glued to the ends of wooden citrus crates to identify a grove or packinghouse. The labels reflected the social and historical aspects of the times as well as exotic and romanticized scenes.
Using the extensive label collection of the Pomona Public Library, a new theme is chosen for the quilt each year. Volunteers select a label and reproduce it using fabric and embroidery. These "fabric" labels are then assembled to form a quilt.
Be sure to stop by and purchase tickets for this lovely quilt.
Quilt will be displayed at businesses and banks around town after the 4th. Dates and locations will be provided later.
