The Delta Museum is getting into the action this weekend.
In honour of the annual Quilt Walk and Classic Car Show, the museum has pulled out a number of quilts from its archives for its Historical Quilt Walk display.
The assortment of handmade quilts dates back to 1860.
Women used to make quilts as gifts to mark special occasions, such as weddings or the birth of a baby.
Many of the patterns incorporate smaller pieces of fabric from worn out clothing and served to become historical documents for the quilt maker and his or her loved ones.
One of the more well-known quilts at the museum is known as the Crazy Quilt, which was created by Delta pioneer Isabella McKee Curtis in the 1880s. She used lush scraps of velvet, silk and cotton with inventive embroidery stitches used to join the patches together.
Curtis's grandson, Ted Curtis, donated the quilt to the museum.
The antique quilts will be on display throughout the museum's recreated period rooms.
The museum will be open from 10 a.m. until 4: 30 p.m. on Sunday.
Admission is by donation.
The quilts will remain on display at the museum until the end of August.
