The Mattoon Arts Council is now accepting entries for its 2017 quilt show with the theme of “Stitches of the Seasons.” Quilts, wall hangings, table runners, pillows and garments are eligible for exhibition.

This is not a juried quilt show, and all ages of quilters are accepted. The MAC wishes to showcase the talents of area artists and quilters alike.

Quilts must reflect the theme of “Stitches of the Seasons” by using motifs, images, colors and/or quilt blocks with seasonal themes. Whether the style is contemporary, modern or traditional, quilters should use their imagination and explore the endless possibilities of this theme with a new technique, color palette or design. There is no entry fee.

Intent-to-exhibit forms are due by Jan. 1. Quilts should be delivered to the Mattoon depot between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Jan. 22. Quilts will be on display in the Lone Elm Room of the depot from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 28 and from noon to 4 p.m. Jan. 29. Entry forms and official rules may be found on the arts council website, www.mattoonartscouncil.org.

The event is sponsored by the Mattoon Arts Council and Lori’s Pins ‘n Needles in Paris.
