The show will feature many beautiful and unique quilts made by guild members as well as the recently completed 300th Anniversary quilt for the Town of Hopkinton and the quilt completed for the Hopkinton Library which helped raise funds for the new library.
There will also be member-made quilts for sale, a raffle quilt, raffle baskets, a boutique with handmade quilted items and other new and slightly used needle crafted items, and vendors. Admission is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for seniors (65 and up), children under 12 are free. Watch their video for more about their talented members here.
Every year, the guild chooses a community quilting project, such as making quilts for The Michael Carter Lisnow Respite Center, the Hopkinton Senior Center, Serenity House in Hopkinton, The Learning Center for the Deaf in Framingham, Milford Hospital, and Rosie’s Place, adorning the Hopkinton Center for the Art’s silo with quilts in 2013.
The guild always welcomes visitors and new members. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month September through June at 6:30 PM at Faith Community Church, 146 East Main Street, Hopkinton, MA. Please visit their website for more information, and check them out on Facebook.
