Aurora's Flower Garden Extended Show

Aurora's Flower Garden Quilt Show Lives on with our Best in Show now through January 27th. This was a stunning show and we are sorry we do not have the room to extend the full show. Staying on through January is all of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. We will be reaching out to all of our lenders to update you on quilt pick up times and let you know if your quilt is included in Best in Show.

Follow us on facebook @oldauroracolonymuseum as we continue to delve into the connection between quilting and gardening.
