Pods for the Pulpit

November 29 & 30th, 2024

Tracy Hall, 300 Main Street, Norwich, VT

CRAFT FAIR & FUNDRAISER

Join the Northern Lights Quilt Guild at the 2024 Pods for the Pulpit Crafts Fair on Friday and Saturday, November 29-30, at Tracy Hall in Norwich, Vermont.

Our guild will have a prominent booth on the stage, showcasing a wide variety of handcrafted items. You'll find large quilts, wall hangings, little landscape quilts, baby quilts, lap quilts, and quilted table runners and placemats. We'll also offer unique handmade goods such as fabric-covered journals, waterproof car trash bags in fun fabrics, children's chef hats and aprons, aprons made from men's shirts, and holiday ornaments.

This annual quality craft show, held the two days following Thanksgiving, features numerous local artisans. While the event's name originated from milkweed pod crafts of years past, today it represents a diverse array of high-quality handmade items.

Visit our booth to see what we've been creating and perhaps start your holiday shopping early!

Annual NLQG Quilt Raffle

This whimsical and colorful full-sized (74" x 85") I-Spy quilt was entirely created by 93-year-old Adele Patch for the NLQG Annual Quilt Raffle.

In addition to selecting and cutting all the pieces in the quilt, she quilted it on her domestic sewing machine. She is the only current charter member of the Northern Lights Quilt Guild.

Adele has been an avid quilter since the 1980s and loves to share her fabrics and quilts (and jams!).

This quilt is done in the I-Spy style, which invites people of all ages to look carefully at the many characters featured in the fabric.

How do I win this quilt!?

Reach out to any of the Northern Lights Quilt Guild members for tickets, visit us at the Craftsman's Fair on August 10th, or keep an eye on our Facebook page to see where we will be in the community.
