What began as a small quilt show at Greenwood City Hall has blossomed into a regional destination, drawing visitors from neighboring states and as far away as North Carolina and Iowa.
The Airing of the Quilts Quilt Show, May 11-13, features one hundred contemporary quilts at the Senator Ed Wilkinson Pavilion at Greenwood’s Bell Park and an equal number of vintage quilts on display at the historic Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church and in the Old Jail Museum’s 1848 Vineyard Cabin, the Redwine Pioneer Schoolhouse, the Ole Barn and in the jail itself.
There will be vendors, the Arkansas Authors table, River Valley Quilts of Valor, a silent auction and a raffle. Luncheon is served in the show’s popular Miss Sue’s Tea Room from 10:30-2:00. Admission is $5 at the door. Luncheon is optional ($10).
The Airing of the Quilts was conceived by Kay Voss, owner of Mama’s Log House Quilt Shop, as a celebration of the quilter’s art and our South Sebastian County heritage. Proceeds benefit the South Sebastian County Historical Society.
Maps and directions to show sites are available at the Pavilion.
