National Park Service Centennial Quilt Show - Inspired by the National Parks

We're so excited to share a very special quilt exhibit with the public. This is the only currently scheduled showing in the Pacific Northwest.

Here is a sneak peek that I took at the start of the setup process.

 

There are 177 quilts. For the 59 Parks that are managed by the NPS, there is a flora, fauna and landscape quilt. The landscape may be vertical or horizontal.

Details about the show from the NPS are here.

A beautiful book has been printed by Schiffer Publishing and is available at the Grand Coulee Dam Visitor Center Discover Your NW Bookstore.

I'll have special hours this weekend on Sunday and Monday (10am-2pm).

I have brought in several Gwen Carreon national park inspired designs and have patterns for them as well.

Hope to see you!
