Each piece of quilt show adds to its attraction (Bangor Daily News)- Topic: quilting patterns

The season of the Pine Tree Quilters Guild annual quilt show at the Augusta Civic Center is upon us. More than 500 quilts, including art quilts, antique quilts, judged quilts, a quilt to be raffled and The Catâs Meow Challenge quilts will be featured at the show. The exhibit centers on the history of quilt making of the World War II era, identifies specific patterns used at that time and advanced better recognition and appreciation of WW II quilts. Jo Diggs, Kathy Kansier, Dodi Poulsen, Valerie Bothell, Michele Scott, Ami Simms, Karen Stone and Carol Taylor will conduct classes at the quilt show. The book is set up in a Q&A format so the reader â” whether a beginner or advanced quilter â” feels as if she has an experienced friend and mentor at her elbow as she goes about the process of putting her quilt together â” from cutting the fabric to binding the edges to embellishing it. Some ideas — the fate of the earth, abortion, gun control, the nature of God — aren’t going to be resolved in a reader forum, so no need to get frustrated if others don’t see your point of view.
