The Overmyer Family Reunion Committee is pleased to announce another unique way for Overmyer descendants to be part of this great family gathering. One of our Overmyer cousin's family has organized the making of a memorial quilt.

Reunion participants can have their name/signature transfered onto a quilt piece, which will be quilted into a log cabin style quilt. It will take about six months after the reunion to get it all put together and quilted. However, at the reunion you can enter a raffle and possibly be drawn to win this item, which is destined to be a family heirloom. We will then ship it to the lucky cousin.

Quilting has been part of our American tradition of folk art and textiles. There are basically four periods in American quilting. Colonial, Civil War, Victorian era, and now. Women have been remembered in history by this art form.

At the reunion you will have the opportunity to meet the James Bock family, who are putting the project together.

In a couple of days we'll add more of the details for your interest.
