Area quilters are stitching away in preparation for this year’s Krazy Quilters Club show at the Nodaway County Fair.
This year’s exhibition is to take place on the lower level of the Nodaway County Administration Center and will be spread out over four days of fair week. Times are: Wednesday, July 15, (registration only) 2-6 p.m.; Thursday, July 16, 5-10 p.m.; Friday July 17, 10 a.m.-10 p.m.; and Saturday July 18, 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
In conjunction with the show, the Nodaway County Historical Society will host a “bed turning” event in the Administration Center’s lower level at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 18, featuring locally crafted antique quilts.
A bed turning consists of several quilts placed on a bed then turned down one at a time as a narrator tells the story and historical or artistic significance of each piece.
The quilt show will culminate on the fair’s main stage Saturday evening, July 18, when the Crazy Quilters will auction off a winning quilt.
For information about entering this year’s show, call Joyce Farmer at 816.863.6878.
