Hume News from Karen Irwin

       The Hume United Methodist Church held their Annual Lord’s Acre Day Barbecue and Auction on November 3. The day was absolutely awesome with great food, lots of fun, fellowship and visiting with friends. The men once again did an outstanding job on the meat. Thank you to Geno Franklin for doing such a great job at the auction. An assortment of items such as home baked goods, homemade items, hay donated by Bogan Farms and the quilt made by Oleta Davidson and Wilma Coffman were among the many items auctioned off.  

       Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Coffman spent a total of 197 hours on the quilt. It was a beautiful quilt with the inscription on the back “The Last Quilt”. The quilt was purchased by Joann Laughlin for $1200.00. These ladies have been making quilts for many, many years. At age 91, Mrs. Davidson decided this would be the last one. Thank you for all the years you ladies have put into making the beautiful quilts for the Lord’s Acre Day Auctions.
