Works by Students of Lollie's Quilt Shop
An exhibit featuring the quilting works of 9 area citizens has opened in the Gallery of the Clifton Forge School of the Arts.
Earlier this year, a new local business, Lollie's Quilt Shop, on Ridgeway Street in Clifton Forge, issued a challenge to a group of area quilters enrolled in its classes: each person was handed a cloth panel featuring the Humpback Bridge and challenged to design and execute a finished quilt.
The result: nine quilt interpretations are on exhibit, now through November 17 at the Clifton Forge School of the Arts.
The artisans will remain anonymous for the duration of the exhibit. Their works will be clearly numbered. Visitors are invited to respond to their favorite work, by placing at least a dime into the jar marked with the number matching the quilt.
The winning choice will be announced after the exhibit ends. The money collected will be a donation to the Clifton Forge School of the Arts to help with their continued artisan programs.
