"Needling Around"

A show to highlight local needlework skills wearable art

Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show XV

October 9, 2011 at 3:00PM

This year’s fashion show is a fantastic opportunity to showcase handmade fashions and fashionable accessories for adults or children. The only requirements are that the items must be created with, by, or embellished by the use of a “needle”, and they must be a wearable item (clothing, hats, bags, jewelry/embellishments). So, we are encouraging participants to think inside and outside the box by considering techniques like needle felting, quilting, appliqué, beading, knitting….you get the idea!!

The show is held at 3 pm on Sunday, October 9, 2011, it’s informal and always lots of fun! A dress rehearsal will take place on Friday evening, October 7, at 7 pm in the Falcon Hall dance studio (upstairs), Dutchess Community College. We encourage all entrants to model their own items, and the dress rehearsal will certainly banish those “runway jitters”. However, if modeling is not possible, please let us know, and we will make other arrangements for your items to be shown.

Please return the Wearable Art Details Entry Form to Mary by Thursday, September 22, 2011. (Return by this date allows for entry recognition in the DHQS printed program.)
