Quilt Art by The Shady Ladies!
June 3rd & 4th 10:00am-5:00pm, June 5th 12:00pm-5:00pm
Enjoy the region’s finest quilt art in the annual exhibition, Quilt Art by the Shady Ladies.
The Shady Ladies, a quilt group in Haywood County, will host its 13th annual quilt show “QUILT ART BY THE SHADY LADIES” this year at the Folkmoot Friendship Center located in the Historic Hazelwood School.
The newly renovated gymnasium will be filled with over 100 beautiful quilts. Many quilts will be for sale and the boutique will feature quilting-related items made and provided by the members. Proceeds from the $5 per person admission will be donated to Folkmoot. In addition, each year the Shady Ladies combine their talents to create a quilt to raffle off at the show. This year raffle ticket proceeds will be given to Broyhill Children’s Home and Hospice of Haywood.
The highlight of the 2016 quilt show will be a special exhibit “THE BARNS OF HAYWOOD COUNTY”. As an artistic tribute to the rural heritage of Haywood County, each Shady Lady has created an 18″ square fabric depiction of a barn of her choice. Visitors to the show will recognize many beloved Haywood County structures such as the Shelton House Barn, the Cataloochee Ranch horse barn and all three historic barns in Cataloochee Valley. Marilyn Sullivan remembers the Caldwell Barn from early explorations of the Valley with her sister. “I was fascinated by the structure. We climbed all over the interior of the barn, an experience which lead me to design my barn square as an interior view.”
“The renovated gymnasium in the Folkmoot Friendship Center is perfect for our show,” explained Jane Cole, one of the leaders of the Shady Ladies, “with lots of light, big open spaces and a wonderful refinished wooden floor.” “The location is very accessible, which is another plus” added Wendy Bowen, the other leader of the group. “We hope it will be easy for lots of people to visit the show.”
