Focus in on the fabric of artwork displayed at the Springfield Area Quilt Guild’s A Community of Quilters Quilt Show the weekend of March 19-20. Besides a display of junior and antique quilts and the featured work of 2010 Marian Brockschmidt Quilting Achievement Award recipient Barbara Olinger, view competitive quilts vying in several categories. These include: appliquéd, pieced or embroidered, whole-cloth quilts, miniatures, garments, household items, purses and challenge quilts. But this isn’t just a visual show -- you can buy pieces, watch how the work is done, buy supplies from quilt shops and meet appraiser Hallye Bone on March 19. The show coincides with the 19th annual National Quilting Day on March 20. More information can be found at www.springfieldquilts.com.
