The annual travel show for Art Quilts Maine opened as part of Maine Quilts today! The show will be on view along with about 500 other quilts and vendor booths, classes and raffles–if you are in Maine it is worth the trip to Augusta!
The touring quilts come home with me Saturday to be prepped for travel, and will start off the year at the Skowhegan Free Public Library from October 2 through mid-November. On Black Friday I will be hanging quilts in the children’s section of Portland Public Library. They make for a colorful display amongst the children’s books! The show leaves Portland on January 26 and travels to Crooker Gallery located in the Topsham Public Library where they will be on view from early February until March 15. Falmouth Memorial Library welcomes the show on March 16, displaying the quilts as part of their Art at the Library series until May 31. Last stop on the tour this year is the Stier Family Gallery, downstairs in Cape Elizabeth’s Thomas Memorial Library, for the month of June.
Over the past year, the artists developed pieces in response to one or both of the following prompts: Creative Circles, Rings and Curves or Tradition Re-Imagined. Make your plans to see this show during the year! Here are a few images to pique your interest.
Artists represented: Anne Walker, Charlene Huntley, Argenta Jeffrey, Suzanne McCormack, Rana O’Connor, Jane Hann Morey
