KENOSHA, WI – “Traditions and Treasures” is the theme for the annual quilt show presented by members of the Southport Quilters Guild at the Kenosha Public Museum. Quilts will be on display at the museum in DaimlerChrysler Hall through March 24.


There are 76 quilts on display, including 15 challenge quilts. This year's quilt challenge is “What's Behind the Door?” Each quilter has a picture of a door and is challenged with making a 20"x20" quilt imagining what is behind their door. Guests are encouraged to vote for their favorite.


Celebrate National Quilt Day 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday, March 16 at the Kenosha Public Museum. From 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m there will be quilting demonstrations by Southport Quilters Guild members and family activities on the Mezzanine and in the Artists Studio.


Darlene Kronschnabel will present a program, “Feed Sacks...Yesterday's Cherished Fabrics,” at 2 p.m. in DaimlerChrysler Hall. Feed sacks are a part of America’s rural history and are now a hot collectable. The fabulous calico-printed feed sacks from the '30s, '40s and '50s were a bonus that came with buying essentials for the home or farm, something soft and pretty in times of hardship and rationing. In her presentation, Darlene will share interesting stories she collected while researching feed sack history. Included is a display of assorted feed sacks, garments, linen and quilts, and swatch books with over one thousand 3" samples. Darlene is an award-winning writer who has helped cooks please palates for over twenty years through magazines and cookbooks for respected publishers such as Better Homes and Gardens, Ideals, and Reiman Publications. Free tickets will be available the day of the presentation beginning at 9 a.m. Seating is limited and unreserved.
