“A Quilter’s Christmas” – The Sod House 130th Anniversary celebration

The Sod House Quilters are stepping in to celebrate and commemorate the 130th anniversary of the Sod House the “quilted way.”  Christmas trees throughout the museum will be decorated with quilt blocks such as log cabins, yo-yos, four patches, stars, and Christmas tree blocks, and the Sod House itself will have seasonal decorations on display.

“A Quilter’s Christmas” open house will be on Saturday, December 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. The Friends of the Sod House Museum will celebrate this milestone with cookies and cider and give away door prizes! Visitors can buy tickets for a queen-sized quilt with the theme of “Chickadees and Trees,” (seen below) made by the Sod House Quilters. They will be $2 each, three for $5, and 6 for $10.

The Silver Strings and Friends musical group will share their love of music with guests at the Christmas Open House. They will play folk, traditional Christmas music, gospel, country, and unusual instrument music throughout the day. As part of the celebration, the audience will be encouraged to join in during the musical presentation.

This year The Sod House Museum is celebrating the 130th anniversary of the Sod House through the continued sharing of its time-honored history.
