There are four groups here exhibiting seven galleries and one video, so be sure to view each one. Quilts in our Special Exhibits are available for Best of Show award even though we do not have Viewers' Choice ballots within each exhibit.
Mod Quilt Squad
CCQ started a modern quilt group in July 2018. We have a roster of almost 50 quilters. We are meeting monthly and have a topic/program each month. This is an open group and all are welcome.
Thread Tales
Thread Tales is a group of quilters who read four books each year. They then create quilts inspired by the books. Discussion and activities centered around the books can be videos, food, field trips, in addition to the making of a representational quilt.
The Thread Tales exhibit this year will include quilts inspired by four books.
Machine in Stitches
Machine In Stitches is a small group of longarm quilters gathering together monthly to share and to learn. Some members longarm as a business, some only for their own pleasure.
This year's challenge: is to create a sampler, both in piecing and in quilting, using the show theme of Polka Dots and Spots . Maximum size is 36” x 36”.
Machine in Stitches is a very interactive group, contributing together for a monthly program. Membership is free, contact machineinstitches@gmail.com for further information.

Creative Wearables Fashion Show
Creative Wearables, a group of fiber artists focused on the wonderful world of wearable art, emphasizes creating handmade pieces of clothing and accessories designed as expressive art. Garments and accessories include upcycled, new, and “themed” challenges. Members may participate in runway shows, exhibits, and learn techniques throughout the year, as well as share ideas and their wearable art during meetings.
This Dare to Lead challenge Invited each artist to think of someone who inspired them. Then we created garments that represented some aspect of each of these leaders.
