NORWICH – Who said men can’t quilt?

Sew Nice, a fabric and sewing outlet in Norwich’s North Plaza, is celebrating its third anniversary with a “Men’s Only” Quilt Show from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and Saturday.

The show is featuring 57 quilts, tote bags, table-runners, place mats and other hand-sewn items produced solely by area men. Entrants range in age from 7-years-old to their mid-60s. It’s free and open to the public.

“We decided to do something special for our third anniversary,” said co-owner Diane Marvin. “A quilt show seemed like the logical thing.”

Of Sew Nice’s 2,000 customers on file, Marvin said only 10 are men. “There’s not a real high percentage” of male quilters, she admitted.

Jim Raab, an auto mechanic from Fabius who began quilting a year-and-a-half ago, has several pieces in the show, including five pillow cases.
