Fraser Accepted Into Quilt Show

Connie Harris Fraser of Newtown, a local quiltmaker, has had another of her

quilts selected for exhibition in a major national quilt show.

Quilts for the exhibit, "A Quilt to Show," were selected from contest entries

submitted by hundreds of quiltmakers from all over the United States and

abroad. The contest attracted a wide variety of quilt styles and techniques,

from traditional to contemporary.

The exhibit includes over 200 quilts. It will be at the Westford Regency Inn

in Westford, Mass., on November 5. The exhibit is open to the public.

In addition to the quilt show, there is a vendors mall, demonstrations,

lectures, workshops, and free Bernina sewing machine classes. There is also a

special invitational exhibit featuring quilts of previous award winners and an

exhibit of dolls whose dresses span two centuries of fashion.
