An exhibition of antique and contemporary quilts and laceworks will be on display in the historic rooms of the Taylor-Grady House Oct. 3 through Oct. 11, featuring works from 1897 until the present, antique wedding gowns, two vintage Katha quilts and more. The opening reception is on Oct. 3 at 5 p.m., which is a $15 ticketed event that will include an exclusive first look at the exhibition, as well as refreshments. Sew Sew Studio will hold quilt square-making demonstrations for visitors, with these squares being used to create a quilt for next year’s exhibition. On Oct. 9 as part of the main exhibit, Athens Lacemakers will demonstrate the art of various kinds of lacemaking from 5–7 p.m. Oct. 5 will bring the first annual Airing of the Quilts Ceremony, where guests are invited to bring their own treasured quilts, blankets and textiles to be hung up outside and have their histories shared from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. The exhibition will be open for free viewing every day after the opening reception from 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
