Come Quilting Outside the Box

COME--Quilt Outside the Box
In the Box [Married 45 years] in Lebanon, Oregon, August 29, 2008...“What’s Quilting Outside the Box?” you might ask.

Actually it’s the Santiam Scrappers Quilt Guild 2008 annual quilt show on October 18 and 19. The fall show will answer that question with unique quilting vignettes, art quilts, a strawberry quilting bee, a liturgical quilting lecture, kid quilters and a quilted car. Guild quilters also show their visions of “quilting outside the box” in a challenge competition.

HAVE LOTSA FUN--Outside the Box
All this “outside the box” quilting and sewing fun will be Saturday–Sunday, October 18–19 from 10am to 5pm in the gymnasium, at the Sand Ridge Charter School, 2900 S Main Road, Lebanon.
Of course the show will have more traditional events such as 80 to 120 handmade family, art and heritage quilts, and a silent quilt auction. New this year will be a number of quilting, sewing and textile artists and vendors.

WANTED--Quilts from the Public
“We want quilts from area church groups, schools, and individuals,” said Peggy Christopherson, guild president. “Anybody who wants to show his or her quilts should contact us by October 1st,” she continued.

GUESTS HAVE FUN--Guests Are Part of the Show Fun
They can vote for the people’s choice quilt awards and watch various quilting demos and even take fun quilting tests. Children can to do a bit of kid quilting or play children’s sewing games.
Rather than just walking through the displays of quilts, wall hangings and wearable art, guests can sit for scheduled bed turnings, quilting and textile art demos, and even have a bit of tea and crumpets. Check the guild website for the schedules of these events.
