“Quilts are real art done by real people. We get to celebrate first quilts and look in awe at works of art. We get to laugh at humorous quilts and sign at memorial quilts,” said Marla Richmond from Westford.
Alice Wiggin, Concordian and founder of the guild said, “There is a great variety of quilting styles and ability from beginner to expert. It’s one of the best attended shows in the state.”

Taking in a quilt show is like strolling through an art gallery, draped with brightly pieces ranging from folk art to contemporary art quilts. Expertly hung to maximize the effects of color and pattern, the show features quilts of many colorways and styles.
“It really is a feast for the eyes in terms of color, shapes, and inspiration," said member Barbara Weiss. "There are stories behind each quilt, a little bit of women’s history."
The guild is known for its wide range of quilt styles, including traditional abstract blocks like "Wild Goose Chase," or "Lemon Star," hand-stitched appliqué, Baltimore Album quilts, landscapes, contemporary pieces, and wearable art. Many pieces are original designs by the quiltmakers, themselves. Traditional and innovative techniques like thread painting, hand-dyed fabric, embroidery, trapunto, and beading may be used to bring the quilter’s design concept to life.
