Quilt National '09

Quilt National '09 comes to the Riffe Gallery from the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio. The exhibition is the 16th biennial juried exhibition of innovative art quilts and demonstrates the transformations taking place in the world of quilting. This exhibition is produced and circulated by the Dairy Barn Southeastern Ohio Cultural Arts Center, Athens, Ohio.

Join us for Family Day on Sunday, December 13, 2009 from 2 – 4 p.m.  Local artist Melissa Vogley-Woods will help children age 6 – 17 explore traditional quilt patterns as a basis for personal discovery.  All participants will work with translucent layers of fabric, building up images with drawing, stitches and collage over a pattern-based fabric.  No sewing skills are required.  Registration is required as space is limited and all children must be accompanied by a registered adult.  Registration begins November 12 and ends December 4, 2009. Please visit the Family Day Registration page to register online.
