Creston Museum

If you are interested in showing off your quilts or quilted items, please let us know!

• Any quilt or quilted item is welcome.

• If your quilt has been in a quilt show before, that’s OK – it probably hasn’t been in this show, so bring it down.

• Quilts can be of any age (our visitors love the antique ones as well as the brand-new ones)

• It is perfectly OK if your old quilt isn’t in the best of shape – neither are most of ours.

• You don’t need to donate your quilt(s) – we’re just asking for a loan.  We pin a tag on your quilt(s) identifying you as the owner, and that tag stays on until you remove it after the show.

 If you would like to sell your quilts or quilted items, you are welcome to.  So far, we’ve sold quite a few smaller items – table toppers, runners, placemats, etc – but each year we do have people coming in specifically because they want to buy a full-size quilt.

• Decide on the price you want to sell the quilt for

• We put a “For Sale” label on the quilts that are being sold, to clearly distinguish them from the ones that aren’t.

• 10% of the sale price comes to the Museum and the rest goes to you.

• We’ll accept cash or credit card for the sale, and write you a cheque before the end of September.

Some of our volunteers and supporters have been coming up with some pretty creative ideas for gift boxes for the Box Social on September 3!  To learn more about this event, visit our event calendar, and if you have some great ideas for gift boxes, we'd love to hear about them!

There's always something happening down here at the Museum.  It might be big and noticeable, but as often as not it's happening behind the scenes.  In summer, the "something" might be a visitor who spends hours here, telling us amazing stories about his or her life in the Creston Valley.  In winter, it might be a research request that gets me sidetracked, or a new exhibit being installed, or maybe we've made a big dent in the pile of artifacts to be catalogued.

Whatever the "something" is, I'll tell you about it here.
