SUMMARY:Bay Quilters Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:MATHEWS MUSEUM TO REOPEN\, \nFEATURING BAY QUILTERS EXHIBITION  \nThe Mathews Museum reopens September 5\, 2025 after 2 months of renovation.  The  Museum’s first major exhibit will feature\, “The Art of the Quilt\,” sponsored by the Mathews Bay Quilters Guild. \nThe exhibit showcases the talent of fabric artists and ranges from full-sized quilts to small items such as table runners and wall hangings.  Styles range from traditional Americana which reflect techniques reminiscent of the 19th and 20th centuries to Modern quilts\, a style that came into prominence in the early 21st century.  There is also a special exhibit of quilts that were displayed at the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show\, a national quilt exhibition held annually in Hampton\, VA. \n“The Art of the Quilt” exhibit is chaired by Cheryl Dale and Raquel Kelly\, Mathews residents and members of the Mathews Bay Quilters Guild.  The combined talents of these ladies represent decades of experience and knowledge of textile study.  “Every quilt has a story\,” says Dale\, a noted fabric and quilt historian and international textile teacher.  “We plan to share those stories as expressed in fabric art.  This will be an opportunity for visitors to not only see items that bring back memories\, but to experience the development of modern quilts that are more mindful of cubism and surrealism.” \nThe exhibit will remain at the Museum throughout the month of September. Joining in the opening weekend activities is the Bay School Community Arts Center\, presenting its “Mathews Arts Fest” during Mathews Market Days. The Fest offers for sale numerous creations by local artisans.   \nVETERAN’S QUILT RAFFLE \nA member of the Mathews Bay Quilters Guild has donated a patriotic quilt to be raffled off during Mathews Market Days. This raffle is open only to veterans and surviving dependents of deceased veterans.  Raffle tickets are free but limited to one person each\, and the winner will be announced during the Museum’s May Faire activities\, May 5 & 6. (Quilt photo below) \nScissors sharpening on site!! Call for information. \nHubble Professional Sharpening\, Smithfield\, Va.
