Welcoming the Cherrywood VanGogh DUTCH Exhibit to Celebrate Quilting!
Vincent van Gogh is one of the world’s most beloved artists. The participants in this challenge were inspired by his work and life to create their own small masterpieces. The quilts are made entirely from hand dyed suede-look cotton from Cherrywood Fabrics.
The strong visual impact of this exhibit is due to the cohesive color, size and fabric. The second of two traveling exhibits, “The Dutch Gallery” represents a wide range of subject matter and beautiful quilting techniques in 80 quilts.
Dots & Stripes Challenge
Create a quilt of your choice using dots and stripes. The variety of dotted and striped fabrics available seems unlimited, so using fabrics of varying scale, color and style, you can create many different effects. Your quilt may be playful, whimsical and fun, or precise and symmetrical. For a unique look, try fussy cutting stripes and piece the units into elegant motifs or blocks. Let your imagination lead the way and join the Dots & Stripes Challenge!
- Perimeter must be between 160” and 280”
- Dots and Stripes must make up at least 50% of the quilt, so that they are the predominant feature of the quilt when viewed.
- Quilts will be judged and eligible for ribbons and prize money.
- Entry deadline – July 1, 2018
- Enter in Judged Quilts – Dots & Stripes Challenge
- Challenge open to anyone, you do not have to be a guild member to enter.
- Quilt means top, batting and backing. Embellishments allowed.
This challenge is open to anyone, not just guild members! Show off your dots and stripes creativity at the show! Download a flyer here.
Dawn Heese – Lectures
We are happy to announce that Dawn Heese will be a lecturer at our 2018 quilt show!.
Dawn grew up in a family of quilters and stitchers and has been doing some kind of needlework her whole life. She “really got into quilting” in 1999 and set out to teach herself everything she could about the process.
In 2008 she partnered with Kansas City Star Quilts and published her first book, Geese in the Rose Garden. She went on to produce 4 more books with KC Star. Book publishing led to magazine work and she started her design company, Linen Closet Designs, in the fall of 2010.
Her work can be seen regularly in magazines such as Primitive Quilts and Projects, Quiltmania, and Simply Vintage. Linen Closet Designs releases new designs twice a year. Dawn’s sixth book, From the Linen Closet, published by Quiltmania, made it’s debut in April 2017.
Her love of hand work has led to many designs that feature needleturn applique and wool applique. She is also a hand quilter, and will often do big stitch quilting on her quilts with pearl cotton.
Dawn states that “I am so blessed to be able to work doing what I love.

Lori East
Lori East is an AQS Certified Quilt Appraiser, textile historian, teacher, lecturer and quilt maker from Carthage, Missouri.
Lori learned to sew and crochet at a young age, taught by her mother and grandmother. She made her first quilt when she was nine. She enjoys exploring all types of quilt making, from traditional to art quilts. She finds great joy in using old castoff pieces of quilt tops, quilt blocks, or vintage fabrics to create her one-of-a-kind quilts. She loves “all things handmade, homemade and things with a story.” Lori describes herself as serious about quilt history, but she allows no “Quilt Police” in her studio.
Lori appraises old and new quilts, and she will even appraise quilts that are entered and hanging in the show.
Visit Lori at her website, www.LoriEast.com, and at Lori East Quilts on Facebook.
