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

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. Quilts
are donated to OHSU hospice,

The Challenge Blocks dis-
played at Quilting at the Beach
are made by guild members
from fabric purchased from
Boardwalk Quilts. 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.

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. For
