2018 Quilt Show

The Prince Edward County County Quilters' Guild 'A Stitch in Time' 2018 Show was a huge success with more than 1,400 attendees!

This quilt show couldn't have happened without the hundreds of gorgeous quilts created by the Prince Edward County Quilters' Guild members over the last two years! What a wonderful way to showcase their quilted works, art and love of their craft. The public thoroughly enjoyed the variety of quilts.....definitely a quilt for everyone's taste.
