The 26th Annual Quilt Exhibition at the Billings
Farm and Museum opened Tuesday with a private reception for the quilt
exhibitors. The reception included an awards ceremony for three juror awards
and a curator’s award. The three juror awards went to: ‘Swirling Stars in a
Maze of Flying Geese’ quilted by Sandra S. Palmer, Hartland; ‘Susan’s
Challenge’, quilted by Mary Jane Arvidson, Brownsville; ‘Crop Circle: Windmill
Hill May 25, 2009’, quilted by Joanne Shapp, North Pomfret. Museum Curator, Bob
Benz presented his award to Darsie Riccio Woodstock for her quilt ‘Irene Floods
Vermont’ saying “I loved it the first time I saw it.” The exhibition is open to
the public August 1- September 23 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. These
quilts need to be seen up close to admire the detail and design; in addition,
each quilt comes with a unique story that only makes one appreciate the
quilting process even more.
