2026 Quilt Exhibit
It is time to start thinking about the quilts you will be submitting for the Quilt Exhibition to be held March 2026 at the Bluffton Library. We again will be accepting 2 quilt submissions per person. The maximum size that can be hung in the Library is 75 x 75. Larger quilts can be considered for a trunk show. Please keep in mind there are more spaces for lap size and smaller quilts to be hung in the library. We are looking forward to having another successful Exhibition that wows the Bluffton Community!

The Art of Quilting
A Quilt Exhibition Presented by Maye River Quilt Guild 2025
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.
