An old-fashioned quilting bee

The Brooklyn Quilters Guild will be hosting its annual Quilt Show on April 2 and 3 in the Grand Ballroom at New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge.

This year’s show will feature more than 100 quilts made by members. Some will be available for purchase, and one 90-inch-by-90-inch quilt will be raffled off. It was created by Sylvia Hernandez and inspired by Edyta Sitar’s “Dreaming.” First prize is the quilt, second prize is a Pfaff sewing machine, and the third is a basket full of quilting supplies.

Visitors can also get sewing and quilting demonstrations and local Girl Scout troops will be working on their textile badges. Children can play an “I Spy” game with prizes.

Quilt Show, April 2 from 10 am to 6 pm and April 3 from 10 am to 4 pm. Tickets $10, children under 12 free. Raffles are $1 each.
