Christmas in February
Local artisan to display holiday tree, trimmings

Handmade glass ornaments, a homemade tree skirt and tree topper adorn the Christmas tree that will be on display during the annual Needle Art Show.

Karen Glasscock grew up in Lampasas and has been an active quilter and needle artist for many years. Her handmade Christmas ornaments will be on display at Keystone Square Museum during the March 7-8 Needle Art and Quilt Show.

Ms. Glasscock has been practicing needle art for many years. She crocheted the angel and tree skirt for her tree, and she made all of the sequined ornaments. The entire tree will be on display at the museum.

A quilter since 2001 after being introduced to the art by a friend, Ms. Glasscock has been creating quilts and wall hangings for her family. Each is personalized with the recipient's choice of fabric. Three of the quilts she made for family members will be exhibited at the Lampasas County Courthouse.

Also on view will be the Cox-Coker collection of antique quilts, on loan from Carol and Bob Wright.

Admission, good for both days, is $5 for adults and $3 for children under 12.

A bake sale also will be held, and vendor booths will be open.
