Quilts featured at
Discovery Center
THE DALLES — An exhibition of quilt-based artworks
is open through May 31 at the Columbia Gorge Discovery
Center & Museum.
This exhibit features 48 works by members of Beyond
the Block, a chapter of the Columbia River Gorge Quilters’
Guild. This collection of “Gorge Impressions’’ celebrates the
sights and emotions experienced by those living along the
Columbia River. Impressionistic and abstract artworks depict
iconic images of sunsets on the water, rugged cliffs, water-
falls, and petroglyphs, and capture everything from the terror
of forest fire to the joy of sweeping meadows of wildflowers,
according to a press release.
Kathleen Roulet, a featured artist and organizer of Beyond
the Block, said, “It’s by far the largest Gorge show we’ve
exhibited. There is a lot in this show that no one has seen
before.”
“Coloring the Gorge: Wild Lupine” and “Mosier Plateau Vista,” both by Kathleen Roulet, are two of 48 quilts featured at the Discovery
Center’s “Gorge Impressions” exhibit through May 31.
