July 23, 2019--I have just been informed that the Rehoboth Beach 9th Annual Needlework Exhibit
will run from September 14, 2019 through November 3, 2019 (not October 27, 2019 as originally posted). Except for this change, everything else in the below entry form remains the same.
The change is made so as not to conflict with Rehoboth Beach's Sea Witch Festival which brings in lots of traffic and festivities. Hope this date works best for you as well.
June 24, 2019--
Below is information and entry form for the 9th Annual Rehoboth Beach Museum Needlework Exhibition. Come to the beach in the early Fall and see the exhibit. Better yet, come around Labor Day to add your entry, then again later to view all the pieces.
PS: It's recommended you call before coming by to be sure the museum is open: 302-227-7310.

April 9, 2019--Heads Up!!! I just learned that the 9th Annual Rehoboth Beach, DE Needlework Exhibit will open on Saturday, September 14, 2019. Pieces for the exhibit are to be dropped off the week after Labor Day.
Please plan on not only attending this delightful venue at the beach, but to also participate by entering your needlework into the exhibit. September is a beautiful time of year to visit the beaches here in Delaware and viewing the exhibits on display at the museum would be a fun addition to your holiday.
More details and entry form to be announced soon. Hope you take home one of these ribbons.
