| Piecemakers Quilt Show 2018
The Piecemakers Quilt Group will be holding their annual exhibition at the Icehouse again this year. This very important exhibit of work by some of the region’s best quiltmakers has become one of our most popular events. It coincides with the annual AQS Paducah Quilt Show, and we receive visitors from around the world.
Exhibit dates:
Friday, March 30 – Saturday, April 28
Special Hours during AQS Quilt Week
9am-5pm daily Monday, April 16 – Saturday, April 21
During the week of April 16-21, the members of the Piecemakers Quilt Group will be on hand to conduct tours of the show and to offer information and assistance to visitors. The show will also feature the annual Quilter’s Bazaar with fabric, tools and books about quilting that will be for sale in the Gallery’s workroom. Proceeds from the Bazaar will go to the Icehouse Gallery.

Mel Garbark Estate Art Sale
Remaining Works Priced at 50% Off Original Price
|
|
| When Mel Garbark passed away last year there were 90 completed works of art remaining in his studio. Thanks to his daughter Gale Dillon, the representative for his estate, these are being offered through the Icehouse. It is an honor for us to stage this event since Mel was such a good friend to the Guild and to many artists throughout the region. We had the opportunity to pay tribute to this internationally-recognized wildlife artist at a reception on May 5.
