Bed - Turning Presentations
Friday and Saturday - 10:00 am and 1:00 pm CST
Accepting Antique Quilts with Information / Story to be Presented
Definition: A bed turning at a quilt show is a presentation where quilts are displayed by layering them on a bed, and then turning them back one by one, revealing each quilt and sharing its story. This format allows for close-up viewing of the quilts, and provides an opportunity to discuss their history, construction, and the stories behind them.
Quilts of Valor Presentations
Friday and Saturday
Definition: A Quilt of Valor is a quality, handmade quilt presented to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war, as a tangible way to say, "Thank you for your service and sacrifice." It's a way to provide comfort, and healing, and to acknowledge the recipient's dedication and service to the nation.
