A Floral Quilt Show and Exhibit is on display at the Historic Bess Streeter Aldrich House in Elmwood, Nebraska, on Saturdays and Sundays during June, July, and August. The 1922 Prairie Mansion home has been beautifully decorated with more than sixty quilts and other pieces of needlework coordinated by the UNL Piecemakers Quilting Group of Lincoln.

All of the delightful quilts have a floral theme, either in their fabrics or patterns, and many have been hand quilted by the Piecemaker Group.

Weekend hours for the Quilt Show are from 1 to 4 p.m. The tour is only $5 per person. Individuals and groups are also invited to contact Aldrich House Director Kurk Shrader at 402-867-4233 to arrange a personal showing and/or tour.

During this pandemic period, guests are encouraged to wear masks and to social distance, which can easily be accomplished in the 13 room, 3,400 square foot home that houses not only the quilts but many period artifacts and items personally owned by Mrs. Aldrich and her family.

Funding for publicity was provided by Cass County Tourism and programming at the Aldrich House was provided by Humanities Nebraska (HN) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
