Presenting the. . .
2025 Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival Quilt
About this year’s Quilt Design:
Rachel's Tribute
​
This year's quilt was made from a Pam Buda design titled "Rachel's Tribute". The pieced blocks are composed of assorted red and green prints. The extensive quilting designs include leaf wreaths and borders, blossoms, and apples. The backing fabric print also salutes our apple producers in keeping with our festival theme. High quality all cotton fabrics were used in the making of this 88" x 88" quilt.

About this year’s Quilter:
Bettie Pharr
​Bettie said she and her siblings were always encouraged and supported by their parents to explore their creativity and try new things. Her quilting journey began in the late 1970's with a ruler, scissors, a pencil, and some cereal box cardboard to make templates for her first pieced quilt. The quilts she made for family members were all hand quilted. Years later she taught classes in quilting, foundation paper piecing, and hand quilting at local quilt stores. Two years prior to the closing of her family business of 34 years Sparks Sport Center, Bettie started her longarm machine quilting business Quilting Keepsakes operating full time since 2006. This quilt was pieced and machine quilted by Bettie.
