Annual Quilt Show Returns May 27

Remembrance 

Quilts with stories, - something Grandma made, one created for a special occasion, or one tied to a special memory. There will be both old and new quilts. This theme also ties in with the America’s 250th anniversary, remembering our history over the past 250 years.


A highlight of the quilt show will be quilts made by Judy Scharf, honoring not only her love for family and quilting, but also her love for the Winters Heritage House Museum and the years she spent there as a volunteer. 


The 35th annual Quilt Show will open on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and continue through June 27, 2026 during regular Museum hours, as follows:
