Canfield Quilters
March 2 - March 30
Reception - Saturday, March 2, 3pm - 5pm
The Canfield Quilters, a group of a dozen quilters from the Quiet Valley Quilters Guild (based in Bennington), have been meeting monthly at the Martha Canfield Library in Arlington since 2017. They design or sew traditionally styled quilts or artistic pieces. The group also focuses their efforts on making quilts for local charities. Each year in September, the quilters display their work at the Bennington Quiltfest, a show that is open to the public and exhibits about 140 quilts from artists throughout the region. Selected works will be for sale, with a portion of the proceeds to support the Martha Canfield Library.
The Gallery is open during library hours: Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 8 pm, Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm, Friday from 2 to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm.
