The crate label quilt has been a major fundraiser for Claremont Heritage for the past 28 years. 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. A new theme is chosen for the quilt each year using the extensive label collection of the Pomona Public Library.
Volunteers select a label and reproduce it using fabric and embroidery. These “fabric” labels are then assembled to form a quilt.
The Quilt theme this year is “15 Dogs and 1 Tom Cat.”

Our quilters – Sharon Hightower, Barbara MacKenzie, Lee Waggener, Martha Stephenson-Stratern, Diane Schreiber, Elaine Ball, Anne Sonner, Patty Lindberg, Nancy Clark, Nell Fowlkes, Wendy Meyer, Deanie Laughren, Karen Rundlett, Linda Griffin, Betsy Barnard, and Rain Yocky. The quilt was unveiled on July 4th at our booth in Memorial Park and now will travel to several destinations around town. Please stop by to view the quilt and purchase raffle tickets for October 23, 2010 Village Venture
