bowls and carvings, handweavings, glassworks, jewelry, clothing made from upcycled materials, and more, as well as several with quilting/sewing supplies and vintage buttons. Photos and information about the vendors are being posted on the LMQG Facebook page throughout September. Readers may visit www.facebook.com/Lancaster MQG to view the posts. Althouse noted that some vendors will only accept cash. The QSAM will offer opportunities to win gift baskets, large and small quilts, and a new Bernina sewing machine. The winning tickets will be drawn between 2 and 2:30 p.m. Bucky’s BBQ food truck will be on-site, selling meat-based and vegetarian dishes, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Groff ’s Candies and Sugar Goddess Patisserie will sell a variety of sweet treats.
