Our friends at Threads of Time quilt center in Danville, IL are planning an exhibition of quilts that be on display from April 1-30, 2016. The pieces submitted will be fabric based and feature the theme of "Nature", but may feature non fabric embellishments. Dimensions are 12"-16" wide by 60"-72" high and need to have a rod pocket or hanging tabs on the back. The pieces will be displayed so that both front and back will be visible to visitors to the exhibition. Deadline for submission is 3:00 PM Saturday, March 26. There is no entry fee. For more information, download the flyer below.
