The Rehoboth Beach Historical Society will hold its Annual Needlework Exhibition at the Rehoboth Beach Museum. More than 80 regional needle artists participate by submitting nearly 100 entries each year. The works are judged by a National Academy of Needle-arts certified judge, and awards are given in 10 categories. Additionally, a Best in Show award is given. The public is invited to visit the museum to view the show and to vote for the People’s Choice award winner.
The history of needlework goes back to early civilizations, and different forms were practiced in many homes in colonial United States. Women and children of Rehoboth Camp Meeting association spent free time learning embroidery and other forms of needlework. Many early examples would be samplers with religious phrases, ABC's and family mottoes.
Copies of application form are also available at the front desk of the museum.
