Quilt exhibit on
display at city hall
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
Thirty new quilts were
hung on the walls of Keizer
City Hall on Tuesday, Jan. 3.
In its fourth year, Candy
Robinson started the exhibit
when she noticed art work
was absent at city hall.
“There’s a lot of quilted
art out there and a lot of peo-
ple aren’t aware of it,” Rob-
inson said. “It was in part
just so promote the craft.”
Robinson was a commer-
cial and industrial real estate
appraiser at the time but has
since changed careers and
opened her own quilt shop,
Discover Quilting, in Salem.
One of her employees,
Cindy Lee, made eight quilts
for the latest exhibit. The 11
different artists featured are
members and supporters of
the Mid Valley Quilt Guild.
There is no theme as
Robinson just wants to pro-
mote interest in the quilting
arts and to expose viewers
to both classic and modern
quilting techniques.
The exhibit is free and
will be available to view
during business hours, 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., until the end
of March.
“We just wanted people
to feel free to submit what-
ever art they had,” Robinson
said. “This is just let’s show
the world some quilted art
and see if we can get some
more quilters and inspire
some people. That’s what
we like.”
