Piece Makers welcome all!

Come join us tonight at 7pm at the Musée Héritage Museum for the opening reception of Piece Makers, an exhibit about quilts!

Quilts from both the Musée Héritage Museum and the Royal Alberta Museum will be highlighted to show the creativity of quilt makers who used old dresses, clothes, and bits and pieces around the house to create beautiful items to place around the home.

The Musée Héritage Museum will also be hosting “The Alberta Quilt Project” on Saturday, February 15.  Sign up to have your heritage quilt documented by staff of the Royal Alberta Museum and other quilt specialists as part of a permanent record of Alberta’s quilting history.

The exhibit itself will be open to the public until March 23, 2014. You can also check out the St. Albert Gazette article about the exhibit: The quilt as artifact.
