QUILT TURNINGS OF ANTIQUE QUILTS with MERIKAY WALDVOGEL
The always popular [antique] quilt turning sessions are returning again this year. At these special features of our show since their inception in 2008, Merikay Waldvogel surprises us with a group of antique quilts, many of which have never been shown publicly before.
Along with a team of quilt history colleagues (Becky Harriss, Cindy Stuart and Jan Wass), Merikay will date the quilts based on the quilts’ fabrics, patterns and styles. Expect to hear some good stories and learn something about dating old quilts. Visitors may bring quilts to show if time permits. Photos may be taken and questions/comments from the audience are encouraged. There is no additional charge for this event. Merikay Waldvogel is a nationally known quilt collector, researcher and writer. Her books include: Quilts of Tennessee, Soft Covers for Hard Times, Patchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, and Southern Quilts of the Civil War. In 2009, she was inducted into the Quilters Hall of Fame for her work as a quilt historian and author. She has been a member of Smoky Mountain Quilters of Tennessee since 1986. THREEFOLD: The Art of the Triptych
|
Triptychs have been popular from the Middle Ages to the present day, first as altar pieces, and then in various forms and media. The task for members of Mountain Art Quilters was to challenge themselves by creating a three-part art quilt that meets the definition of a triptych. The three parts can speak as a whole, and can be abstract or representational, in whatever style of art quilt the artist chooses. THREEFOLD: THE ART of the TRIPTYCH is an art quilt exhibit, comprised of 23 artworks, © Copyright Mountain Art Quilters 2021.

the 2022 Recipient of the viewers' Choice award
|
Quilt show attendees selected Andrew Lee's quilt, "United We Stand," for the 2022 Smoky Mountain Quilt Show's Viewers' Choice award. His inspiration, Raising the Flag at Ground Zero, is a photograph by Thomas E. Franklin. Andrew re-created this iconic scene that occurred after the horrific attacks in New York, NY on September 11, 2001.
As a combat veteran, Andrew uses quilting as his therapy for PTSD. He stated that he, "chose this design as it is the day in which I feel we as a country were most united." He sewed the tiny squares together with the "hope it allows people to see an unconventional method for healing." |
