May 6 – May 31, 2026. Quilt & Fiber Art Show.In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, please join us in the Third Floor Art Gallery to view a very special selection of handmade fiber art and quilts presented by two local quilting groups. We’re thrilled to showcase American-themed motifs created uniquely for this exhibit by Northern Star Quilters Group along with traditional American quilt designs created over decades by the Butterfly Quilters Group.

The Northern Star Quilters Guild started in Somers, New York and is over forty years old. Each year the Guild has a member’s Challenge. The Challenge this year honors the 250^th anniversary of our country by making art quilts in red, white, and blue.  The quilts are 13” x 25” which is the proportion of the American flag. Over 30 intricately-stitched creations will be on display.

Near and dear to our hearts, The Butterfly Quilters Group is Mahopac Public Library’s very own quilting group. This talented group has worked together for years on quilting projects for the community, meeting weekly on Tuesday mornings on the library’s third floor. Comprised of longtime members and new members wishing to hone their quilting skills, The Butterfly Quilters will be displaying 10+ large format quilts with traditional American designs, patterns and techniques such as log cabin, sampler patterns and more.
