Quilting Styles

Quilt by Loraine Brink.

The Trillium Quilt Guild of Sister Bay is proud to display its members’ works at the Link Gallery at the Door Community Auditorium in Fish Creek through Aug. 27.

The exhibition, “Door County, Its Land and Water” features approximately 30 quilts that depict the richness of Door County. Among the subjects are landscapes, water scenes, wildflowers and wildlife, and the county’s abundance of agricultural products. The quilts exhibited vary greatly in style, technique and in combinations of techniques.

The guild has been part of the Door County art scene for more than 16 years. Fully participating in community and charitable initiatives, its recent projects have included donating quilts to Sister Bay’s Centennial, the Neighbor-to-Neighbor organization, victims of Hurricane Sandy, the Cancer Center at Ministry Door County Medical Center, and the Quilts of Valor project. The Guild annually donates quilting books and magazine subscriptions to the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Library, and it has also participated in community celebrations including the recent Baileys Harbor winter quilting project, the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse Exhibit and Gibraltar Heritage Days.

The Trillium Quilt Guild meets the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at the Sister Bay Fire Station, 220 Mill Rd, from 10 am to noon. Membership is open to all levels of quilters for a nominal membership fee. New members are welcome.
