"Stitches and Stories," which includes a quilt-design workshop from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday, is family-focused and designed to involve everyone in the spirit of the exhibit. Thread, needles, material, patterns and (live) instruction all will be at your fingertips. Once you've gotten the hang of just how darned difficult - and creative - quilting really is, head for either of the information desks (at the front or rear entrance), and load up on the self-guided-tour sheets. Those will take you on an educational (and fun) scavenger hunt through the exhibit.
And while you're walking around the museum, pop into the Van Pelt auditorium to check out storyteller Len Cabral, who'll be there at 11 a.m., noon and 1:30 p.m. to continue making the connection between stitches and stories, telling a few, in the form of yarns, fables and folklore. Stitch on, Len!

KIDS FAIR IN ATLANTIC CITY. Back in the 1930s, a quite-young Shirley Temple served as the mistress of ceremonies at Atlantic City's first children's fair. About 60 years later, the children's fair is being done again (albeit without the celebrity) at the same place: the Convention Center.
