The First Congregational Church of Haddam, located at 905 Saybrook Road, Haddam, will be holding its 10th Annual Yuletide Quilt Show on Saturday, December 4, 2021 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Over 100 quilts and quilted items will be on display in the church’s sanctuary, many of which will be for sale. Quilters and quilt owners from around the state will be displaying their quilted works of art. If you have a quilted piece you would like to display at the show, please contact the church at 860-345-2742 for an application. An Exhibitor Application can also be downloaded from the church’s website, www.haddamchurch.org. We love seeing new quilts each year!
All afternoon the church’s fellowship hall will be a whirlwind of activity. In addition to quilts on display, there will be holiday items for sale, basket raffles, a homemade quilt raffle, a “crafty” tag sale, and a scrumptious lunch will be served at our Haddam Café.
If you’re feeling lucky, why not enter one of our raffles? With over twenty-five themed baskets, the basket raffle has become very popular. Themes include “Chocolate Lovers”, “Game Night”, “Baking with Kids”, “Wine & More”, “Coffee & Tea Lovers”, “Gardener’s Delight”, “Rainy Day Activities”, and many, many more. The winners will be drawn at 3:00 p.m.
This year’s quilt raffle features “Three Jolly Snowmen,” a 46” x 62” handmade quilt, and a crocheted blanket entitled “Olde Church Window.” Raffle tickets are available through the church, at community events, and at the show. The winners will be chosen on Saturday afternoon.
The Haddam Café will sell homemade soup, artisan bread, and pie at lunchtime. Lunch will be offered as take-out and if COVID restrictions allow, it will also be served as a sit-down meal. Check the church’s website for updated restrictions as the event date gets closer.
Admission to view the quilts is $7, children under 12 are free. The activities in the fellowship hall do not require an admission fee and you may visit as many times as you choose.

Proceeds from the show support the church’s Outreach Ministries.
