Cape May Quilt and Fiber Show

Posted in Contests/Challenges on January 23rd, 2012

Historic Cold Spring Village would like to invite you and your guild to participate in the Cape May Quilt and Fiber Show to be held on Saturday, June 23rd and Sunday, June 24h at the Museum Village. The weekend’s events include a Viewer’s Choice Quilt Show, sheep shearing, vintage quilt displays, spinning, wool dying, lace making, and a celebration of all the fibers used in the early 19th century. To encourage the public appreciation and participation in heritage crafts, the event has expanded in scope to reflect many fiber arts: embroidery, basket making, broom making, crocheting, felting, knitting and other fiber artisans all gathering and exchanging ideas and techniques.

The core of the event will be the 22nd Annual Quilt Show displayed in the Welcome Center. The quilt show is judged by ‘Viewer’s Choice’. It is casual show, a great way share your talent with others.

The 2012 Best in Show prize is $250.00 in Country Store Gift Certificates. Additional ribbons and prizes are awarded in individual categories. Registration forms are downloadable from our website:http://www.hcsv.org/
