CHESTERTOWN — Olde Kent Quilters Guild will be bringing its exhibit of art quilts, wall quilts and other small works — titled “Shore Love Little Quilts!” — to Heron Point for the month of September. The public is invited to view from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, Sept. 1-28.
There is no admission cost.
Heron Point is located at 501 E. Campus Ave., Chestertown.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 1 to 4 p.m.
According to its website, the Chestertown-based Olde Kent Quilters Guild was founded in 1995 and has more than 70 members whose quilting styles range from very traditional to modern and skill levels from beginner to expert.
Guild activities include a monthly program and workshop, two annual retreats, road trips and shop hops. Some members also meet monthly in one or more of the guild’s four bees to pursue interests in applique, reproduction quilting, hand-stitching and creative design.
The guild’s charity quilting program, Deborah’s Angels, has donated more than 2,500 baby quilts to various children’s hospitals, social service organizations and disaster relief efforts since its inception in 2004.
The guild hosts a quilt show and market every other year as well as an exhibit of small quilts every year at Heron Point.
Guild meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month (January to November) at the Presbyterian Church of Chestertown, 905 Gateway Drive.
