Quiltworks Exhibit

Please come see our 2 + 1 Challenge exhibit at Quiltworks Gallery during the month of December and January. A reminder about our challenge: we picked charcoal and lime as our two colors, and each quilt could include one other color. Look at all that grey and green in this shot:

We are so excited to see all the challenge quilts hanging together again. While looking at the quilts on Friday night at the opening reception, we realized that the display in the Quiltworks Gallery offers a different perspective on the quilts than the display at the Sisters show. The lighting is different, and it's possible to get up close to see the beautiful details of the quilting and piecing.

For more pictures of the individual quilts, see our post about the Sisters show and the Modern Quilt Guild post.

Quiltworks Quilt Gallery

This month, our 2 + 1 color challenge quilts will be hung as a group exhibit in the Quiltworks Gallery. We first displayed this group exhibit at Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in July 2013. We are so excited to be able to show this group exhibit again!

We invite you to visit our exhibit this month. Even better, plan to attend the First Friday Reception this Friday December 6th from 5pm to 7pm. Exhibitors will be honored, and everyone will enjoy appetizers and beverages.

A Quilt for Baby

We presented Kayla with a quilt for her baby at our meeting last night! Kristin and Erin picked out the fabrics for the blocks and distributed them to the group, and many of us made blocks. Tamra picked out the sashing, and Corni quilted it (stunning!) and also did the binding. It was truly a group effort and it turned out so beautiful.

Kayla just loved it and was so surprised (I still can't believe we kept it a secret!) and she said baby was jumping around in happiness as well.
