Each year the Museum's popular quilt exhibit,

Stitches-In-Time, is held from January to March. 

In addition to prizes for the full sized quilts, the Museum sponsors a quilt challenge for quilters wishing to compete

in an additional judged Quilt Competition.

The finished pieces must be submitted from January 5-9, 2009. They will be judged by a panel of judges and there will be three monetary prizes given: $100 for first prize, $75 for second, and $50 for third prize. The pieces will be displayed during the Stitches-In-Time exhibit at the Museum Center at 5ive Points from January 22 – March 7, 2009 with the other Challenge pieces.

The Quilt Challenge is sponsored by Joe Hooper Insurance, Jane Easterly Designs, and Kingsway Press, Inc.
