Quilt Show 2025

October is quilt show month for our guild. This year there was again an abundance of admirable works of fabric art by the many skilled quilters in our area. 

Here are just a few of the standout quilts.

This quilt is the product of the Blossom Festival quilt block contest that I chaired in April. Each block is made by a different designer (mine is the apple pie) and I sewed all of them into this quilt that has been donated to a local charity called "Next Door" that helps families in need. They will raffle the quilt to raise money for their organization. (The quilt does have a top border that is folded to the back in this photo)

This wall hanging was made by one of the talented gals in the art group (Beyond the Block). Each leaf is a small snip of fabric. 

More "Beyond the Block" art quilts-

This piece depicts hikers on a trail with spectacular views of the Columbia River Gorge pausing to notice the train rumbling through in the distance. 

 

The following 12" wall hangings were also made in the Beyond the Block art group with a prompt called "Word Play" where the maker would use a single word that "makes you feel better, uplifted or inspired." Some makers put the word in the design but some just used it in the title.

                "Love"     and      "Bouquet"  (mine. The center is embroidery.)

          "All you need is...."     and "Sharing"

"Adventure" and "Truth"

"Birdsong"    and     "Delicious"

"Persistent"   and   "Refresh"

Next time I'll tell you about a very special exhibit.
