This weekend, Quilters by the Sea will be hosting their 18th Biennial Quilt Show at the Pennfield school in Portsmouth. More than 100 quilts will be displayed hanging upright on racks with room to walk around. Guild members display a range of expertise, from beginners to nationally known, award-winning quilters, whose artistic styles range from traditional heirloom applique and patchwork to art, modern, and collage quilting. This year they will be displaying 22 baby quilts that will be donated to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Women and Infants Hospital at the end of the show. While most of the quilts on display will not be offered for sale, they will be holding a small quilt auction to benefit the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Mass. More than 30 small masterpieces, made by members of the guild, will be on display.

WHEN: Sat, Sept 30 and Sun, Oct 1 from 10am-4pm
