WARWICK The Warwick Valley Quilters Guild will hold its biennial quilt show, Stars of the Valley, on Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20, at the Sanfordville Elementary School, located at 144 Sanfordville Road in Warwick.

In addition to the judged quilts on display, the show will include a merchant mall, special exhibits, free quilt lectures featuring Anna Faustino on Saturday and Pat Yamin on Sunday, door prizes, a quilters café, raffle prizes including the first-place prize of the quilt, Once Upon a Meadow, which was designed by guild member Bonnie Seufert who is also the featured WVQG quilter.
