The Art of Quilting
A Quilt Exhibition Presented by Maye River Quilt Guild
The Quilt Exhibition was held at the Bluffton Branch Library March 1 – March 30, 2025. The opening reception featured Maye River Quilters own Pat Wys as keynote speaker. Pat, a published author and well-loved quilting teacher, shared her beautiful quilts and a bit of her vast quilting experience to a full house. As always, Pat blended laughter and teaching in her wonderful presentation. A trunk show of beautiful quilts by various Guild members rounded out the presentation. Visitors from the community as well as Guild members then enjoyed the exhibition of Quilts throughout the Library. Refreshments provided by Friends of the Library rounded out the day.
The exhibition was enthusiastically received by the community as well as the employees of the library. Many compliments were given by community members. It touched people. To some visitors it brought tears as it reminded them of a grandmother, mother or aunt who quilted. At the end of the month, many expressed sadness that the exhibit was being taken down. The Exhibition will return in March 2026 to again stir the community’s souls and share our love of The Art of Quilting.
