Saturday, March 16th, join us at the Folk Art Center for all things QUILTING! In honor of National Quilting Day, on the 16th, Jude Stuecker and Connie Brown will be demonstrating quilt-making skills in the lobby. Connie is also a quilt historian and AQS Quilt Appraiser. On March 14-16, a selection of antique and vintage quilts from her collection will be displayed. Each day at 11 and 1, Connie will give an informal talk with Q&A about the quilts. We'll look at the fabrics, patterns and other clues that quilt historians use to help them date a quilt.

Our organization started in the Asheville region 92 years ago. As the oldest guild in the country, we now represent and sell the work of 900 regional artists.

Escape the hustle of downtown and take a drive up the Parkway to visit the Folk Art Center - there's plenty of parking, a bookstore, a craft shop, two exhibits, a museum, a library, and a hiking trail.
