There are quilt display spaces available at the “Cabin Fever Quilt Show” to be held at the Vassalboro United Methodist Church (VUMC), 614 Main St., on Saturday, February 14 (storm date Feb. 21st). There is no entry fee. Quilts of all sizes, ages, patterns and skill levels will be draped over the pews and hung along the walls in the sanctuary, producing an impressive array of creations. A lasagna luncheon will add to the day’s enjoyment. To enter quilts, whether vintage or newer, contact Judy Goodrich at jgoodrich1954@gmail.com or call or text (207) 530-1564.

The Vassalboro Historical Society (VHS) will display several antique quits from their collection in “bed turnings” at 9:30 a.m. and at 1 p.m., when the VHS Curator will share information about each quilt as it is turned. There will be tags applied to the other quilts on display and hosts will be on standby to answer questions that may arise. There will be drawings for door prizes for which Quilt Show attendees will be eligible. Some newly made quilts will be available for purchase, a percentage of which will be designated to the VUMC building fund as will all proceeds from the day.

Admission to the Quilt Show is by donation; quilts will be on display 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. The luncheon is $10 per person and will be served 11:30 a.m. -1 p.m., to include meat and vegetable lasagnas, special desserts and sweets with Valentine’s Day in mind. Luncheon tickets will become available at 11 a.m.
