                                                            As the New England Quilt Museum prepares to celebrate its Silver Anniversary, quilters across the continent and around the world are invited to join the fun.

                                                            One way to get involved is to take part in the Silver Threads Quilt Challenge. Make a quilt inspired by the theme "silver." No one is more imaginative than a quilter. Have fun with this!

                                                            Prizes will be awarded in a number of categories. Your quilt will be featured in a Special Exhibit at the IMAGES Quilt Show during the Lowell Quilt Festival [August 9-11, 2012]. The top 25 entries will be loaned to the museum for a national tour in 2013.
