Quilting As An Art Form
A quilt is a bed covering or other
item made by sandwiching two lay
ers of fabric with a layer of batting
between and stitching them firmly
together, usually in a decorative pat
tern.
But that defination only hints at
the creativity of local quitters.
Quills may be simple or ornate,
practical or fanciful. Some arc fami
ly heirlooms, group projects, wear
able works of art.
Most any type of quill one could
imagine will go on display Saturday
and Sunday at Quilt Show '91.
