The show, which is held every other year, will display for visitors a wide variety of quilts, quilting techniques, fabrics and patterns. Guild members will also offer visitors demonstrations, a Quilts of Valor display, and quilt shop vendors will be on hand.

The show will be open Friday from noon until 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is $2 for adults; youth 12 and under can enter for free. The event is sponsored by the River Country Quilters and the Gloucester Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism.
