The East Cobb Quilters’ Guild is partnering with the Cobb County Public Library System and the Arts Division of Cobb PARKS for a quilt tour that continues through early June.
The tour began April 14 at the Mable House Arts Center, and expands starting Thursday through May 28 at the gallery of the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road).
The exhibit is called “Cabin Fever” and includes 25 challenge quilts from a competition among guild members.
The tour also will be at The Art Place (3332 Sandy Plains Road) from Friday through May 28. “Quilted Jewels,” a series of jewel-toned quilts made by members, will be featured.
An opening reception will take place Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, and tickets will be available to win a “Rhapsody” raffle quilt.
There will be 15 jewel tone quilts to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Art Place and the 40th (ruby) anniversary of the East Cobb Quilters’ Guild.
Several Cobb library branches will be displaying quilts starting Saturday through June 12, including East Cobb (4480 Lower Roswell Road) and Mountain View (3320 Sandy Plains Road).
Finally, a quilting extravaganza will take place June 9-11 at the Cobb Civic Center (548 S. Marietta Parkway) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. While the other showings are free to the public, this one includes a $10 admission charge per person.
It’s part of the culminating Georgia Celebrates Quilts event, which is in its 18th year, and will feature more than 300 quilts.
Tickets to Georgia Celebrates Quilts be purchased at the door or online at www.georgiacelebratesquilts.com/tickets.
