The Lakeside Quilting Guild Presents
Co-operative Creativity
The Journey of a Round Robin Quilt
This exhibition celebrates our divergent styles and creative expression. Each round robin quilt is designed and executed by three to four different quilt artists. The quilters have different styles, varying experience levels and different creative expressions. All this complexity comes together to make dozens of beautiful quilts.
The exhibit will display how over the past five years we have cycled through the development of quilts that use all the geometric shapes in perfect harmony. Starting from a small center square, the quilts evolve into works of beauty and function.
The public is invited to view this dynamic display that illustrates divergent styles and magnificent workmanship at this iconic lakefront landmark. Guild members will be available most days of the exhibition from 1 pm-4 pm to provide additional information about the exhibition.
