Docent Orientation over Zoom
Davies Manor will be offering two Docent Orientations over Zoom on Tuesday April 20th at either 1:00-1:30 or 5:30-6:00. Both sessions will cover our new Docent Handbook, any new research undertaken, as well as a quick tour of the Manor to see the changes made while we have been closed.

Quilting Club
There is a regular quilting club that normally meets Wednesday morning at Hillwood at 10:30. Quilting club is currently on hold until further notice. Members will be polled to see what their preferences are for reopening. Bring your own projects and join our regular group of gals who come for the quilting and stay for the company. For more information, please call the office at 901-386-0715.
Annual Quilt Show
The 2020 Davies Quilt Show is CANCELED in the interest of protecting our staff and participants. We had hoped to show some of your quilts virtually, but unfortunately will not be able to do so. We have been in contact with Donna Marcinkowski DeSoto, creator of the special exhibit scheduled for our show, namely the quilts from the Inspired by Elvis Challenge. We will reschedule that showing, but have not set a new date at this time. Keep checking our web site, Facebook and Instagram for updates.
Check out this November 9-15th, 2020 virtual show that includes a showing of beautiful quilts, and classes by nationally know instructors and vendors. Do all the things from a regular quilt show all from the comfort and safety of home!
We will miss seeing all of your at Hillwood this year, but we hope to be back next year bigger and better than ever.
If you are interested in donating to the preservation and restoration of the Davies Manor Quilt Collection, please consider donating.
