Quilt Tales: Stories Through Fabric is an informative multi-dimensional WGZM-curated temporary exhibit. We brought together quilts, from residents all across Hancock County, to share their beauty and their amazing stories and histories with visitors. We explored the meaning that the quilts–and other creative textiles–bring to our lives, communities, and histories through their unique creation, stories, and legacies.

The exhibit was on display in our Founders Room from Oct. 7–Jan. 14.

As an additional part of Quilt Tales, we partnered with The Arts, Hancock County to host a Fiber Fest on Saturday, November 19, 2022, from 10am–4pm, on Coleman Avenue Green. The Arts sold all kind of fiber arts, fabric, and wool and hosted live demonstrations.

During the run of the exhibit, we also offered a Quilt Trail throughout Hancock County—inspired by the many barn quilt trails throughout the U.S. Learn more about the Trail here.
