Modern Quilt Show To Be Held in March
The Lake Superior Modern Quilt Guild (LSMQG) invites the public to its first ever quilt show to be held throughout the month of March.
The LSMQG’s Modern Quilt Walkabout quilt show will be held March 1-31 in two locations in the Lincoln Park Craft District. This free exhibit of modern quilt artistry will be on display at Duluth Pottery & Tile, 1924 W. Superior St., and Enger Lofts, 1832 W. Superior St.
“We hope the creativity of our work will help people see and appreciate quilts in a whole new way,” said Leslie Hughes, chair of LSMQG’s quilt show committee. “By showcasing the artistic possibilities of nontraditional quilt design, we are trying to excite, inspire and educate both quilters and non-quilters throughout our community.”
In addition to the quilt exhibit, the public is invited to two special events:
An Open House to kick-off the month-long event will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 2 at Duluth Pottery & Tile. Meet our quilters, view the quilt display and share some refreshments.
Interactive displays and demonstrations will be available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 18 (National Quilting Day) at both Duluth Pottery & Tile and Enger Lofts. Talk to our quilters as they demonstrate quilting techniques and try your hand at quilt design on our design board.
This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to appropriations from Minnesota State Legislature’s General Fund.
