Voices from the Quilts: a Festival all of March, 2010

The full month of March is filled with the thrill of Quilts here in historic Fort Scott. From vintage to contemporary nothing speaks of family and history like our quilts -- sharing the stories of our families from one generation to the next. Family quilts, art quilts, quilts as clothing displayed in downtown shops and Victorian Homes on National Avenue. Civil War quilts will be on display at the Fort on weekends and by special request any time for guilds and groups, 620.223.0310

Drive around Fort Scott each day of March to experience the age old tradition "The Airing of the Quilts" Like colorful flags draped over the Bannister, on the clothes lines, draped over balconies & fences! Quilts are everywhere capturing a breath of fresh air and sunshine beckoning the coming Spring.

Grand Finale is March 26, 27, & 28 with quilt expert and guest speaker Terry Thompson, hands-on quilting demos and an indoor Shop Hop. Stay with us and meet Ms. Thompson at breakfast! Call today to reserve this special opportunity.
