The 49th Annual Quilt Show and Sale at the Albert County Museum is taking place Thursday July 17th to Saturday July 19th, 10:00am – 5:00pm. All items in the Community Hall are for sale! There will be over 100 quilts of various sizes, colours, designs and quilting styles from queen, lap and crib quilts, plus other smaller quilted projects and quilt tops, all created by quilters in the Maritime Provinces. A new category in 2025 is “Vintage Quilts”. Having no limit on age or condition, these quilts may range from gently used to well loved!

On Wednesday, July 16 at 7:00 pm, an exciting new evening event “Vintage Views” will open the Quilt Show & Sale. This event will provide a “sneak peek” in the Community Hall of the 2025 Show & Sale! The event continues in the Court House to view a “Quilt Parade” while enjoying desserts and a beverage. Tickets are $15.00. Available to purchase on the Museum website www.albertcountymuseum.com
