Join the celebration of local quilters as they stitch together tradition and storytelling in the 37th Annual Quilt Exhibition at Billings Farm & Museum.

The incredible display of artfully crafted quilts will transform Billings Farm’s Historic Barn from June 3 – July 23, 10:00AM – 5:00PM. The juried exhibition features contemporary quilts made by Windsor County quilters, historic quilts from the Billings Farm collection, and “Beatles” themed challenge quilts made by members of the Heart of the Land Guild.

Learn about the techniques, themes, patterns, materials, and collaborations each quilt represents, and the touching personal stories behind each quilt’s creation.

See demonstrations and activities including a quilt-themed reading corner and quilting on a quilt frame.

Test your eagle eyes in the Quilt Scavenger Hunt to discover interesting elements hidden among the stitches.

Vote for your favorite quilts for the People’s Choice Award!

Explore fascinating fiber fusion as this four-part series delves into the fleece to yarn process. Students will experience the transformative stages from evaluating and selecting materials to processing, washing, and carding raw wool in preparation for spinning. In this class workshop instructor and owner of Aker Fiber Farm, Patty Williams, will demonstrate the difference between roving for fluffy consistency and combed top, for a sleek and uniform result. Students will also learn how to spin worsted-style ply which produces a bulky weight yarn that is great for knitting.
