"A Stitch in
Time"
April 1 - May 31
Regular admission rates apply |
Quilting has long
been a mainstay of Appalachian culture and
heritage. For centuries, quilts have not
only been used for warmth, but also as adornment
and even as a method of communication.
Over 150 quilts will be on display offering an
endless array of styles and patterns, each with
its own "personality." Of special interest
will be author Jane Hicks' quilt creations.
Look for her entries in the show and attend her
poetry-reading on May 10. Schedule guided
group tours by calling (276)523-1322. |
