The 43rd Annual Quilt and Fibre Arts Show and Sale is being held from Tuesday, July 9th until Saturday, July 13th from 9:30am until 5:30pm daily in the Community Hall at the Albert County Museum, Hopewell Cape NB. There will be more than 100 quilts from Baby and Lap size to Queen Size featuring various quilting patterns, styles and techniques in either machine or hand quilting. In addition to the quilts and quilts tops, there will be a variety of smaller finished items – sewn, knitted, crocheted, cross-stitched -- if it is made from fibre, you may find it at the show. The Show and Sale gives local fibre artists and craft persons the opportunity to showcase their creativity.
