Crafters take a passion for patchwork to new heights at the Vermont Quilt Festival. New England’s oldest and largest needle-and-thread extravaganza draws top quilt makers from around the region whose imaginative handiwork reflects an unparalleled craftsmanship. Rich in color, design and attention to detail, these award-winning works of art attract thousands of viewers. Hand-picked by top industry curators, hundreds of antique and modern pieces span a wide range of styles — including fiber-art “threadscapes” by local quilter Pamela Druhen. Gallery talks, appraisals and special exhibits complete this celebration of fantastic fabrics.

olling Stone deems Neko Case “one of America’s best and most ambitious songwriters.” The songstress cut her musical teeth in the 1990s as a drummer in the Pacific Northwest’s punk scene. Eventually swapping her drumsticks for a guitar and lead vocals, Case joined indie-rock powerhouse the New Pornographers. Widely regarded for her fearless approach to Americana, the Vermont resident turned heads with her 2013 Grammy Awardnominated album, The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You. She delights local listeners at a benefit concert for Catamount Arts and the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.
