The Vermilion County Museum is once again hosting its annual Midwest Heritage Quilt Show in July. The event was canceled last year due to the pandemic.
The museum will be accepting quilted items starting on June 12th for the show. The quilts will be exhibited at the museum throughout the month of July.
Ribbons will be awarded in eight categories: Bed Quilts, (crib, twin or larger); Lap Quilts (not for use on a bed or as a wall hanging); Wall Hangings (entered with a permanent or temporary 3” sleeve attached); Panels (quilts using a pre-printed fabric as the main focus); Miniature; Machine Embroidery; Household (includes pillows, table runners & novelties); Clothing/Purses; and Young Quilt Maker (made by a child 18 years or younger). A $5 fee will be charged for each item. Participants may enter a maximum of two quilted items.
You can bring quilts to the museum during regular hours, Tuesday through Saturday, through June 23rd. Quilts may be delivered early by calling the Museum at 217-442-2922 and making arrangements. Entry forms may be filled out when bringing in the quilt or by downloading them from the museum’s website.
