Quilt show celebrates 25 years

art quiltshowThe High Country Quilters 25th annual show “High Country Lilies” will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 8-10 at the Maggie Valley Town Hall.

Over 100 locally made quilts and craft vendors. Each year, the guild has a challenge quilt contest among the members. This year’s challenge was to create a small piece on the idea of Haywood County or “high country.” The quilts were presented to the challenge quilt chairman and the members voted for the winning quilt at the September meeting. The beautiful winning piece for 2015 was a Haywood County barn created by Barbara Phelps, which will be on display at the show.

A raffle will be held for this year’s theme quilt, “High Country Lilies,” which is a queen-sized scrappy quilt with autumn colors. Tickets for the quilt have been on sale for several months at various events in Maggie Valley and Waynesville, are available from every member of the guild, and can be purchased at the show on all three days.

Free.
