Airing of the Quilts

The Rock County Historical Society (RCHS) is excited to host the Airing of the Quilts, a two-day event show casing dozens of stunning quilts crafted by local artisans. The event takes place from 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday May 11. Admission at the entrance is $5 a day; free for people 12 and under.

The celebration of quilting tradition will display quilts both indoors and outdoors, transforming the historic grounds into a colorful tapestry of artistic craftsmanship. The event will include a schedule of demonstrations featuring vintage machines, quilt embellishment, paper piecing, free-motion quilting, and building a barn quilt.

A Storybook Walk featuring The Quilt that Grandma Made by Kristin Caulkins, will be on the grounds for outdoor exploration and quality family time. An ice cream social will also be held.

RCHS is grateful to event contributors Candace and Dave Thompson, Rock County Dairy Promotion Council, Festival Foods and enthusiastic members of the southern Wisconsin quilting community.
