Sunday marked the 46th annual Manteca Quilters Guild Quilt and Fiber Arts Show. The event featured bed turning, quilting demonstrations, vendors, quilted clothing and dolls, as well as a "Life in the Garden" exhibit.
"Sometimes with this fast-paced world that we live in, it's all about production and getting things done, and just getting it out the door," Sara Hardy-Wilcox, Manteca Quilters president, said. "Some of these quilts, you actually have to take time to slow down, enjoy the process, enjoy what you're doing."
Hardy-Wilcox said the guild has more than 100 members, and about 350 people attended the show Saturday, with a smaller crowd expected Sunday.
An Oxford academic study found creative craft hobbies like quilting can "be a meaningful vehicle for enhancing wellbeing".
Carla Daugherty-Bicomong said she learned off of YouTube and started quilting during the COVID-19 pandemic. She enjoys that quilting can be a family heirloom you can pass on to your loved ones.
Quilting can also be mobile, as Daugherty-Bicomong takes her quilting to-go -- including at church.
The Quilts of Valor Foundation's mission is to cover veterans and military men and women touched by war with comforting Quilts of Valor – with more than 436,400 quilts being awarded nationally to date, according to the Manteca Quilters Guild, who've joined the cause.
