Quilts needed for Fandangle exhibition

Local quilters and quilt collectors are being asked to share their favorites with the public by displaying them in the upcoming quilt exhibition to take place during Fandangle time in June.  

Members of the Albany Study Club will again host the annual quilt show at the Whitney Theatre June 21, 22, 28 and 29.

“We enjoy offering residents and our out-of-town guests the opportunity to see a wide range of quilts during this time of year,” said club member Carolyn Waller. “It seems like everyone loves to look at quilts no matter the age, the pattern, or the size.”

Anyone interested in sharing a quilt for the show may bring it to the Shackelford County Library prior to Friday, June 14.  

Tammy Glover will be hanging the quilts this year, and she requested that each quilt be placed in a clean plastic bag with the owner’s name clearly marked on the bag. 

Entry forms will be available at the library for the owner to fill out.  

“We include space on the entry form for the name of the person who pieced the quilt and the person who did the quilting, as well as a little history as to quilt’s origin,” Waller added. “There is space for about 80 quilts to be displayed at the theater.”

The quilt show is free to the public and will be open from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on each day of the Fandangle performances.
