Just in time for fall, the South County Museum is getting cozy with its 35th annual Folk Art Quilt Show.

The event offers an inside look into the time-honored process of quiltmaking, and will be held Sept. 24-26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Each year, the Metz Exhibit Hall transforms into a gallery of handmade local quilts. In the past, up to 75 quilts have been displayed.

“We were heartbroken when we had to cancel last year’s show,” said the museum’s executive director, Heather Pouliot Kisilywicz. “So many in the community look forward to the show. This is one of the museum’s best attended events and largest quilt shows in Rhode Island.”

The event highlights the history, artistry and talent of local artisans and offers a glimpse into the museum’s textile collection. Visitors see traditional patterns side by side with the newest trends of modern expression while they explore South County’s textile production history.

This year’s annual quilt raffle prize is a handmade quilt entitled “Hope” from Mary Loftes and Evie Cherms, and machine quilted by April Gilroy. Even those who are not able to attend can participate in the quilt raffle.

The quilt submission applications, event tickets and raffle tickets are available on the museum’s website, southcountymuseum.org. The drawing will be held on Sunday, Sept. 26, and the winner will be announced on Facebook.

South County Museum is open to the public year round from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and also Thursdays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. For more information, call (401) 783-5400 or reach out to info@southcountymuseum.org.
