Franklin Square Gallery
Welcomes You!

Franklin Square Gallery is hosting the 2024 Quilt Show now through Sept. 21, 2024. The Show will feature handmade art quilts created by members of the Oak Island Beach Quilters guild (OIBQ), an organization that includes over 90 local quilt artisans.  The theme of this year’s Show is “Playing with Log Cabin,” with each quilt on exhibit depicting a unique and colorful variation on the traditional “log cabin” pattern that originated during the Civil War era.  Although quilts entered in the Show will not be offered for sale through the Gallery, interested collectors are invited to contact the OIBQ at OKIbeachquilters@gmail.com if they wish to add one of these artisan-made, one-of-a-kind quilts to their collection.

First, Second, Third, Fourth and Honorable Mention Prizes have been awarded and are on display with the winning quilts. A Viewers’ Choice Award will also be awarded pursuant to the votes submitted by visitors to the Show, now through Sept. 21. The Quilt Show will also highlight the many charities supported by the OIBQ. These have included the creation of nursery quilts, pillowcases, and receiving blankets for patients at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center and “Quilts of Honor” which have been awarded to those who bravely serve and support our community.
