Seattle songstresses bring dreamy music to Sou’Wester Peninsula quilters display hard work at quilting show SUNDA Y AFTERNOON ILWACO, Wash. — The Penin- sula Quilt Guild will present the 21st annual Quilting at the Beach quilt show Friday to Sun- day, March 18 to 20. Over 100 quilts will be on display in three galleries at the Columbia Paciic Heritage Museum, located at 115 Lake St. The guild has grown to near- ly 80 members from Washington and Oregon. The quilts displayed will be as varied as the quilters themselves. Attendees will see quilts in many styles, from scrap- py and embroidered to appliqué and art, and there will be items quilted by hand, home machine and long arm machine. Quilts may be adorned with thread, buttons, rick-rack and even drift wood. The quilt show is a tribute to the enthusiasm that bubbles up when quilt people meet. Quilting at the Beach is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday Live and Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. There will be daily demonstrations, and attendees can meet the quilters and vote for their favorite quilts and chal- lenge blocks. Admission is free. Each year, members par- ticipate in the construction of a prize quilt. This year’s quilt, “Indian Summer,” features a feathered star as a center medal- lion. Rafle tickets are $1 each, and the drawing will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets sold for the prize quilt generate about $3,000. The money is donated to many char- itable organizations on the Long Beach Peninsula. The guild participates in sev- eral charitable projects.

Each mem- ber designs and makes a 12.5- inch quilt block that is judged. The winning block receives an award. After the show, these blocks are made into a quilt and donated to the Ocean Beach Ed- ucation Foundation. The guild meets at the Pen- insula Church Center at 5000 N. Place in Seaview.

SEAVIEW, Wash. — The Sou’Wester Lodge will host two ethereal Seattle singers for a performance at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 23: Briana Marela and Lilac. Briana Marela is known for her dreamy ambient pop mu- sic and forceful lyrics, which create a balance of the abstract and intimate. Throughout her second album, “All Around Us,” tra- ditional song structure gives way to plainspoken declara- tions that pull back the re- cord’s shroud. Her irst sin- gle,”Surrender,” is musically delicate at irst, with lickering blips and chords that loat into earshot like irelies. “Take Care of Me” is the album’s brightest and most immediate song, a buoyant celebration of friendship with a skittering beat and a warm, sweet melo- dy. The title track “All Around Us” is stark but inspiring, built on the memory of a family member who passed away and the sadness of not being able to say “goodbye” or “I love you” one last time. Lilac, aka Madeline Franks, is a dreamy electron- ic solo musician. Born in the Midwest, she grew up playing piano and singing before add- ing electronic instruments to her repetoire as a young adult. Her irst solo EP, “Dream Journal,” was released in ear- ly 2015, and she is currently working on a second album. The Sou’Wester Lodge is located at 3728 J Place.
