The Museum Center at Five Points in Cleveland, Tenn., has opened its 2018 “Stitches in Time” quilt show with a display of 75 coverlets representing a variety of styles.
“One of the things we did this year was issue a challenge,” says Lindsay Overby-Shirkey, curator of collections. “We asked quilters to save an antique, vintage, or old piece of needlework or fabric and rework it into a quilt. We had many beautiful submissions.”
Six events will take place before the show concludes on March 29. Tickets for these events may be purchased on the museum’s website at museumcenter.org.
Among the show’s highlights will be a meet-and-greet on Friday, March 16, with renowned fiber artist Tone Haugen-Cogburn, just weeks before she teaches a quilting course at the prestigious John C. Campbell Folk School.
