creative quilt.
‘On the Edge’ Art Quilts
This summer, the Oregon His-
torical Society hosts an original
exhibit of art quilts developed by
local Studio Art Quilt Associates
artists titled “On the Edge.”
The group invited members to
interpret, either in a representa-
tional or abstract way, a response
to the theme of being on the edge,
be it physically, geographically,
emotionally, philosophically or in
personality
Even those unfamiliar with
quilting, will appreciate the orig-
inal interpretations of the theme
as well as the technical skill em-
ployed to design the works of art.
“The stellar quality of the
works are a testament to the skill
and creativity of the artists in-
volved,” said Karen Sunday Spen-
cer, curator of the exhibit.
A two-gallery show, the exhibit
is now showing through Aug. 15
at the Oregon Historical Society
Museum at 1200 S.W. Park Ave.
