The McMinn County Living Heritage Museum in Athens, Tenn., is accepting registrations for its 2013 quilt show.

"The Year of the Art Quilt" will run Sept. 28-Oct. 19.

Registration closes Aug. 15, and entries must arrive by Sept. 15. Fee for each entry is $15.

Quilts will not be juried, but they will be evaluated by professional judges to determine winners of cash awards in four categories and a Best of Show. A Viewer's Choice award also will be presented.

The opening reception will feature fiber artist Susan Lenz, for whom discarded belongings are central themes in her works, such as a sock quilt.
