The history of quilting can be traced back at least to medieval times. The V&A has early examples in its collection from Europe, India and the Far East. The word “quilt” – linked to the Latin word “culcita” meaning a bolster or cushion – seems to have first been used in England in the 13th century. The Golden Triangle Quilt Guild will host their biennial quilt show and market this weekend inside the Civic Center in downtown. Patrons can peruse through vendor booths that feature quilt and sewing items, as well as other items of interest such as handbags, pillows, art, clothing and more. There will also be auctions and judging.
