Upcoming Quilt Exhibit in Wellsboro, PA

The Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild will be having an exhibit at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center in Wellsboro, PA in September. Opening reception is Friday, September 2nd, 7-9 PM. The exhibit will be open Sep 3-25. Hours are 11-5PM on Saturdays and Sundays, 2-5PM Monday through Friday (note that some printed publicity doesn't show the extended weekend hours). Free admission.
The local theater company, Hamilton-Gibson Productions, will be performing "The Quilters" (a musical that celebrates the lives of rugged women—and men—on the prairie. Seven women play a wide host of characters, all set in the context of a magnificent legacy quilt.) Performances are scheduled for September 16, 17, 18, 23, and 24. The times are not listed yet, but they usually have a Sunday matinee and evening performances for the other days.
Wellsboro also has a fabric shop, Needles, on Main Street.
All three venues are within easy walking distance of each other. Wellsboro is 90 minutes from Ithaca, one hour from Watkins Glen, 45 minutes from Corning.
