In celebration of National Craft and Quilting Month, the Mark Twain Museum and The Hickory Stick are hosting a display of quilts crafted by local quilters. The display features 19 quilts including machine embroidery, piecework, batiks, appliqué, and red work, as well as quilts which use fabrics from Windham’s Mark Twain Collection.

The quilts will be on display until April 5 at the Museum Gallery, 120 North Main Street. It is open during regular museum hours 9:00-5:00 Monday through Saturday, 12:00-5:00 Sundays.

On Saturday, March 20, to honor National Quilting Day, everyone is welcome to attend a reception from 2:00 to 4:00 in the Mark Twain Museum Gallery. Several of the quilters will be on hand to discuss their work. Light refreshments will be served.

In addition to this exhibit, The Hickory Stick also hosts Hometown Stitches, a two-day quilting symposium in September. Teachers and presenters for the 2010 event include Paula Nadelstern, Pat Speth, Marti Mitchell, Sue Penn, and Hallye Bone. This year’s event is scheduled for September 24 and 25.
