Airing of the Quilts - Saturday, May 3

The Stanly County Historical Society has another great event happening soon! Join us for “Airing of the Quilts” on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

In the historic setting of the 1852 Isaiah W. Snuggs House, this annual show will feature quilts from The Three Rivers Quilt Guild. Airing quilts outside has a long tradition in America beginning in colonial times. Early European settlers would mark the beginning of spring by airing quilts outside following heavy use during the winter season.

Local quilter and guild member Wanda Brooks will be on hand to authenticate and date your heirloom quilts and answer your quilting questions. Event is free.
