Hannibal Quilt Guild exhibit extended, works of Clark County quilter to be added on Aug. 16 and 17

HANNIBAL, Mo. — The Hannibal Piecemakers Quilt Guild exhibit at the Missouri Quilt Museum in Hamilton, Mo., has been extended for another month.

“The Hannibal quilts have been one of our most popular exhibits this summer,” museum curator Dakota Redford said in a press release. “With our popular annual Airing of the Quilts event happening August 16 and 17, we wanted to share the beautiful Hannibal Piecemakers quilts with an even wider audience.”

Clark County quilter Becky Rodgers of Williamstown, Mo., also will be a featured exhibitor at the Airing of the Quilts. Rodgers was one of five quilters selected to be a venue exhibitor at this year’s event.

“We are happy to have Becky as one of our featured exhibitors at this year’s Airing,”  Redford said. “Becky is a remarkable quilter and we are honored to be able to share her works with the public.”

Rodgers is the owner of Becky’s Longarm Quilting Studio. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet her during both days of the event.

The Missouri Quilt Museum’s annual Airing of the Quilts is the largest Airing event in the Midwest with more than 800 quilts on display throughout the community.
