Hands Across the Valley Quilt Guild holds its 20th Hands All Around quilt show on April 24–25, 2027, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Campus Center. The guild expects more than 200 member quilts and a special exhibit of quilted clothing. Both days include live demonstrations, raffle quilts whose proceeds go to hospice and other charities chosen by the guild, raffle baskets, vendors, and a mini-quilt sale. Adult admission is $10. Children 12 and under are free with a paying adult. Students and active military pay $5 with ID, and groups of 10 or more can arrange $8 tickets ahead of time.
