On display will be Bob's personal handmade collection which as many of you who have seen his work in the past recognize as top quality. This will likely be the first and final time for a showing of his quilts in one place, as when the public show is complete, Bob will be privately presenting the quilts individually to his family members. The BHS will have the cabins open for tours at the same time. Proceeds will help support Beavercreek Historical Society projects. So mark your calendars now. You won't want to miss this!
