Ninety-nine quilts were displayed at the First United Methodist Church on Sunday afternoon.
Most quilts tell a story or have a story about their history. Many types of quilts were shown, including crazy quilts, appliqued, counted cross stitch, and pieced.
Quilts ranged in size from wall hangings to king size. In addition to quilts being practical, they are artistic expressions, heirlooms and beautiful.

It's not Jericho in the year 1400 BCE, but the walls came tumbling down Monday at the site of the former First Baptist Church of Ada, in the 100 block of East Highland Avenue, where many a sermon was preached and weddings and funerals were held.
The property has been owned by Midwest Rehab Inc. for several years. The brick portion to the north will be saved. The stained glass windows were taken out by the wrecking ball. Several years ago, the church moved to West North Street (State Route 81) where there was more space for worship and activities, land and parking.
