For the second consecutive year, downtown Commerce will host That Blooming Quilt Show, a gathering of Northeast Texas quilters and quilt appreciators. The event will feature vendors, quilts for display, and a chance to socialize with those who participate in the region's most notable fabric arts tradition.
The show is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the former Inwood Bank building at 1312 Washington Street. Admission is free, witha suggested donation of $5, and all donations welcomed.
"There's just such history in this art form, and so it's a joy to keep it alive by having little shows like this and introducing new generations," said organizer Amy Welch.
