Crystal Quilters Guild Coming To Enumclaw City Hall

From the City of Enumclaw: Crystal Quilters Guild began in 1992 with a few women from the Enumclaw area dedicated to the art of quilting, interested in learning, sharing, teaching, and making sure this art form is passed on to future generations. Two of the original members are still active in the Guild today, and everyone has learned so much from them.

Today's membership is made up of 50 or so members from communities surrounding Enumclaw. In addition to making quilts for themselves, the members work together to make "COMFORT" quilts that are donated to a variety of Centers in Enumclaw, and Franciscan Hospice in Tacoma just to name a few. Last year they were able to donate over 300 quilts all made from fabric that Guild members have donated in addition to their time.

A public reception for the artists will be held on Friday, March 7th from 3 to 4:00 pm at Enumclaw City Hall, Gallery 2018.

Artists and their quilt titles represented in the exhibit include: Patricia R Garrett, Moonlight & Bamboo; Cathy Dormaier, Luna; Donna Quezada, Picasso’s Harlequin, and Japanese Dahlia; Wynona Hasbrook, Applique; Donna Minster, Shadow of the Moon; Donna Hill, Bird on Wire and Tractor; Judy Eades, Mini Silk Row Houses; Mary Samida, Poppy; Margaret House, Tea Cup; Lorrie Maras, Orange upon Orange; Sharon Konvalin, The Value of X; Kathleen Delplain, Little Cow; and Nancy Agler, Seattle Skyline.

Crystal Quilters meets monthly on the first Friday of each month at 1:00 p.m. at the Buckley Fire Station, 611 S Division St. Buckley.
