If you’re into quilts, you won’t want to miss The Shuswap Quilters Guild’s “Everybody Loves Quilts,” – the first show the group has held in five years.
The exhibition, which takes place next weekend at the Shaw Centre, features well over 300 quilts.
This year’s feature quilters include Sharon Adair and Joanne Colleaux) and fabric artist Kathy Kinsella.
The Needle Arts Guild and Spinners & Weavers will have presentations as well.
The Quilters Guild has more than 100 members, who are active in various areas of the community.
Members make baby quilts for the pregnancy outreach at the Family Resource Center, quilts for the SAFE house, quilts for the chemo unit at the hospital, wheelchair quilts for the hospital and victim services quilts for the RCMP.
The event includes challenges such as “Variations On the Log Cabin Block,” which will be voted on by members of the public. The second is the inaugural “Button Challenge” in which members were given a collection of buttons with which to create a piece of art.
The show runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, June 7 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Shaw Centre’s spectator arena.
