Catskill Mountain Quilters Hall of Fame

Weekend before last at Roxbury Arts Group the Catskill Mountain Quilters Hall of Fame held their annual quilt show.  It was a spectacular exhibit of needleworking talent that ranged from traditional patchwork to applique, from abstract patterns to pictorial quilts, even a quilt that was all white, with incredible stitched quilting and one, called Square Dance, that was pieced entirely from woolen cloth.

My photos are not expemplary of the quilts you might have seen, but focus on the ones that show landscapes.  These I recorded for a future project.

My favorite, however, was a complex quilt submitted by Roxbury's own Sunbonnet Quilters.
Here it is shown with Betty Sherwood of the Sunbonnet Quilters.

And here it is close up.

Many thanks to Pat Cumming for appearing on Catskills Folk on September 23 on WIOX to talk about the quilt show and to Betty Sherwood for all her advice about how to involve more quilters in local groups.
