Dear Ms. Tamulaitis and the Hammersmith Quilters Guild,
The Peabody Historical Society is seeking quilters to participate in our second annual quilt
exhibition Uncommon Threads: A Celebration of Quilts, Old & New. The exhibition will take place
on Saturday, April 21, 2012, 10 am - 3 pm and Sunday, April 22, 2012, 12 pm - 4 pm at the Society's
Smith Barn in Peabody, Massachusetts.
The theme of Uncommon Threads 2012 is Two Centuries of Tradition: Antique and contemporary
quilts inspired by traditional quilting patterns and techniques. If you have made a quilt inspired
by a traditional quilting pattern or technique, or if you have an antique quilt that fits this theme,
please consider submitting it for exhibition in Uncommon Threads. Quilts made by individuals
or groups are welcome. There is no fee to exhibit a quilt.
This two-day exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your work to quilters, textile
enthusiasts, collectors, Historical Society members, and the general public. Uncommon Threads
will feature rarely-exhibited quilts from the Society's collection and from museums, private
collections, guilds, and quilters from Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Other highlights
include vendors from local quilting and sewing shops, heirloom quilt appraisals, a quilt
challenge for Uncommon Threads 2013, quilting demonstrations, and more.
We hope that you and other members of your guild will participate in this fun-filled weekend
celebration of quilting. To submit an entry for Uncommon Threads, please review the attached
guidelines, and return the Quilt Submission Form and a color photograph of your entry to the
Society by Monday, April 2, 2012. If you would like more information about this event, please
don't hesitate to contact me at (978) 977-0514 or heather.leavell@peabodyhistorical.org.
We hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
