Quilts pulled off walls, put back on beds—It’s Lebanon’s Bed Turning
LEBANON, OREGON, JUNE 23… In a year of quilt shows, Lebanon’s Santiam Scrappers Quilt Guild presents a new mid-summer event. It’s an old-time quilting tradition–a Bed Turning. Several quilts are layered on top of one another. As each quilt is turned back, it reveals another beautiful pattern. You’ll see antique and family quilts as they were meant to be seen--on a bed. As you view each handcrafted quilt, you’ll hear stories behind the quilts. Stories of quilters’ lives, quilting techniques and skills used to sew these coverlets of cloth and comfort.
The June 23rd Quilt Bed Turning, Mini Show and Sale is from 10am to 5pm at Santiam Place, 139 S Main St, Lebanon. Scheduled bed turnings are in the garden at 10:30am, 12noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. Stop by any time for questions and turnings. Admission is free with small gifts and seating provided. Also there are quilting demos and art quilts for sale.
The quilt show is part of an Antiques and Yard Art Sale. It’s all outdoors—Santiam Place’s gardens are filled with vintage, heritage antiques and older collectables. Vendors and food sales are sprinkled in the backyard gardens. Contact Sally Skaggs, 541 259-4255 for vendor information or http://santiamplace.com.
