The Village of Caledonia, Missouri, is holding a quilt show on June
12, 2021. This show features the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt. “Quilt
block submissions were accepted from October 8, 2018-September 2,
2019” for this quilt to commemorate Missouri’s bicentennial. If there
was more than one block submitted from a county, the blocks were
judged and one was chosen to represent that county,
Because of COVID, the quilt was scheduled for exhibition in four (4)
locations across the state. Caledonia is the last exhibit before the
quilt is returned to the State Historical Society of Missouri.
For the quilt show, the Village of Caledonia accepted a partnership
with Threads of Friendship Quilters’ Guild (Farmington, MO). We
anticipate displaying 200-300 quilts including vintage quilts, quilts
for sale, and the guild’s Suffrage Quilt, which was accepted in the
2020 AQS Quilt Show in Paducah, other AQS sponsored shows, and the
Houston Quilt Show. Unfortunately, these shows were canceled due to
COVID-19.
In addition to the quilt show, multiple activities will be occurring
on June 12th in the Village of Caledonia. Caledonia is located about 1
1/2 hours south of St. Louis. It is close to Johnson Shut-ins State
Park and Elephant Rocks State Park.
We hope you will join us!
