QUILTS, HOOKED RUGS, NEEDLECRAFT
Renowned ‘Stories in Stitches’ Exhibition – September 10-14, 2024
Historic and beautiful St. Paul’s church in downtown Charlottetown is the venue for Eastern Canada’s most dramatic display of quilts, hooked rugs and artistic needlework. It’s stunning: close to 100 quilts are set out on the pews and railings of the church, against a background of richly warm woodwork, lit by the colourful stained-glass windows. Hooked rugs, embroidery and other fabric- and needle- arts are also featured. There are artisan demonstrations as well.
The show is hosted jointly by PEI’s Kindred Spirits Quilt Guild and St. Paul’s church. It attracts over 1200 visitors, many of them cruise-ship passengers. This is not a sale, but some presenters do allow subsequent purchase of their works. It’s a fine opportunity to display one’s artistic work.
This is an early call, to invite craftspersons — quilters, rug hookers and other needlework artists — to plan on contributing entries in the exhibition. The deadline for entry is August 16th.
Have a look at the photographic display at www.stpaulschurch.ca – Look for ‘Stories in Stitches.’ That’s where you’ll find ‘The Facts’ and a registration form, too.
