October 11-13, over 200 quilted items will adorn the New Albin Community Center, located at 137 Railroad Avenue SW in New Albin. There will be an array of quilts, including antique quilts, baby quilts, t-shirt quilts, wall hangings, table runners and wool work on display. Hours for the show will be Friday, October 11 from 4-7 p.m.; Saturday, October 12 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, October 13 from 12-4 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the New Albin Public Library.
Lisa Fruechte and Karen Darling of New Albin have been organizing this show since 2006 and have seen it grow each time. This year, they have some new helpers organizing the show, and it promises to be just as good as ever. It is not required to be part of a quilt guild to display an item in the New Albin show.
