Quilting was an integral part of life in colonial America. Quilted fabrics were both functional and decorative, and their use extended far beyond bed coverings. Quilts 250: Stitching in the Spirit of Democracy will showcase the extraordinary work of modern-day quilters near and far, with hundreds of quilts visually expressing themes related to America’s founding and evolution. Special events within this two-day show include quilt entries in five distinct categories, invited speakers, activities for children, and more. March 22 - 23. QuiltersConnection.org/Quilts250.html
