Kaleidoscope of Quilts 2017 Show To Be Held July 21-22

Special to The Truth

On July 21 and 22, 2017 the Glass City Quilt Commission will host the Kaleidoscope of Quilts 2017 Show at the Sylvania Sports & Exhibition Center at Tam O’Shanter; 7060 Sylvania Ave.; Sylvania, Ohio 43560.  This well-respected longtime regional quilt show will feature bed and wall quilts, art and modern quilts, classes, mini-demos, quilt appraisals, special displays and a variety of vendors.

More than 200 judged quilts, created by area quilters and quilters from across the United States, will be exhibited.  The Best of Show quilt will receive a $500 prize and a glass kaleidoscope.  Cash prizes of $100 each for the best bed quilt, wall quilt, and art quilt will also be presented.  In addition, local quilt guilds will be sponsoring cash prizes and ribbons in several categories.   In addition to NACQJ certified quilt judges, local celebrity judges will be selecting their favorite quilt.

The theme of 2017 Invitational Challenge is Barn Quilts. Participants are invited to use their imagination and creative abilities to design a quilted item that reflects their own interpretation of the theme.  No fee is charged for entries in the challenge.

This year, the nationally known quilter and author, Corey Yoder, of LittleMissShabby.com, will be here as an instructor for one of the workshops.  Yoder has been designing fabric for Moda, with her newest line, Lulu Lane, out in February, 2017.  She is the author of many quilt patterns, through Coriander Quilts, and the book, Playful Petals. Yoder puts a modern twist on traditional quilts!  We also have Robyn House-Guettler teaching a unique variation on the Split Drunkard's Path quilt in her workshop.  Our lectures feature House-Guettler's trunk show and Carol Hicks with her "Journey with the Millefiore Quilt Along."  

Quilt commission members have created a quilt featuring forty eight pieced blocks to be raffled. This quilt is titled “On the Farm” from the book Farm Girl Vintage.  Raffle tickets may be purchased at the show or from any commission member: one for $1.00 or six for $5.00.  Proceeds from the quilt raffle will be donated to Sunshine Communities, a local organization which supports men, women and children with developmental disabilities, offering residential, vocational and clinical support as well as therapeutic and recreational programs.

The show will be open on Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Admission for adults is $6 for a one-day pass and $10 for a two-day pass.  Admission for children under 16 is free when accompanied by an adult.  Parking is free.

Additional information regarding registration of quilts or for a class can be obtained on our website, www.gcqc.org.
