    Quilts have been around for millennia. These universal blankets
    have shown up as early 3400 B.C. and appear all over the world from
    China to Hawaii. Quilting is a major part of many cultures that
    keep warriors warm under their armor or children warm in their
    beds, or as art pieces featured prominently on a house's wall.



    Get familiar with this age-old tradition at the free,
    weekend-long �Reflections of Nature� Quilt Show on Saturday and
    Sunday, November 10 and 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at
    Rocky River Nature Center in Rocky River Reservation in North
    Olmsted.



    The event  features a juried quilt show of great local
    talent.  All the quilts in the show have a nature theme, and
    feature a variety of sizes, shapes and inspiration.



    And, if you have a great nature-themed quilt, and are interested
    in entering the juried show, you can still get an application at
    any of the Park District facilities or the application/brochure is
    also available online at "http://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/">www.clevelandmetroparks.com.

    �Reflections of Nature� Quilt Show. While online, view pictures of
    winning quilts and past shows.



    To enter a quilt in the show, an application must be completed
    for each quilt entered. A limit of two entries per person will be
    accepted. Applications must be accompanied by a $10 entry fee per
    quilt, payable by check or money order to Cleveland Metroparks
    along with a non-returnable photo(s) of the quilt.



    The deadline for submitting an application is Thursday, October
    25.



    Prizes and ribbons will be awarded to the top three quilts in
    the following categories: large quilt, medium quilt, small quilt,
    and EarthWords Nature Lover's Quilt Block. Additional prizes will
    be awarded for Best of Show, Viewers' Choice, Best Hand Quilted,
    Best Hand Work on the Quilt Top, Best Machine Quilted, Best Machine
    Work on the Quilt Top, and Best Execution of Theme:

    Choice.  



    The winner of the Best of Show quilt receives a Bernina 3 Series
    sewing machine ($1,399 retail value), courtesy of Abigayle's
    Quiltery of Olmsted Falls.
