Bi-Annual Shell Point Quilt Show Will Be Open to the Public
“We are inviting the public to view heirloom quilts on loan, quilters’ demonstrations, and new quilts focused on many quilters’ unique heritage,” said Michelle McCarthy, Shell Point resident and avid quilter. “We are also encouraging the public to vote for our quilters’ challenge winner!”
