Heirloom quilts tell stories of days gone by, even when their origin is unknown.

Among the many events that have come to be perennial favorites at the Scandinavian Heritage Festival is the quilt show at the Ephraim Co-op Building, held from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday during the festival. Quilters at every level—from first-timers to the most experienced—are invited to display quilts of any size, or any quilted project. The show is not a contest, and no prizes are given, since, says the show’s coordinator Marcia Christensen, “the goal of the show is to promote the art of quilting.” Another part of the quilt show is a display of antique quilts.

Entries for either portion of the show will be accepted until Wednesday, or can be taken to the co-op between 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Thursday. Quilt-show entry forms and other information are available by contacting Christensen at (435) 283-2212, or Kathie Jenkins at (435) 283-5235.
