EVENTS: Cabin Fever quilt show and luncheon at VUMC

A “Cabin Fever Quilt Show and Luncheon” will be held in Vassalboro on Saturday, February 14 (storm date February 21), at the Vassalboro United Methodist Church (VUMC), 614 Main Street.. “What better way to spend a mid-winter Saturday than taking in a display of beautiful new and vintage quilts,” said one of the event coordinators, Dale Potter-Clark. “Quilts of all sizes, ages, patterns and skill levels will be draped over the pews and elsewhere in the sanctuary, producing a rather breathtaking display.” A lasagna luncheon and other surprises are in store that will add to the enjoyment of the day.

Some antique quilts from the Vassalboro Historical Society’s collection will be among those on display as well as others, both old and new, from church members and local families. Information about the quilts’ histories will be provided and there will be people on standby to answer questions that may arise. Those who attend the Quilt Show will be eligible to win door prizes. Some newly-made quilts will be available for purchase, a percentage of which will be designated to the VUMC building fund as will be all proceeds from the day.

The quilts will be on display 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., and a choice of meat or vegetable lasagna and salad luncheon will be served 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., to include special desserts and sweets with Valentine’s Day in mind. Quilt Show admission is by donation and the luncheon is a $10 donation per person.

Anyone with interest in entering a quilt, whether vintage or newer, can email jgoodrich1954@gmail.com or call or text (207) 530-1564. There is no fee to enter a quilt in the show.
