Quilt Show

Highgate Park : More local news and local events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as Quilts and all things quilted make up the new Art in the Square exhibit at City Hall. The show, which includes 39 pieces ranging from bed quilts and wall hangings to clothing and a backpack. The pieces, which are the work of the Lake County Quilters Guild, have common themes, such as boats, mermaids, beaches, patriotism and memories.

One of the reminiscences is Louise Claflin's "Quiet Times," in which a horse-drawn wagon moves from darker squares into the light.

Nancy Weichert's "Dragonfly" was created in a workshop with Jeanne-Marie Robinson, a member of the guild until her death this year.

"She was born in Switzerland and was an accomplished quilter and a ballet dancer who danced in Europe and the United States in the 1960s," said Stuart King, the guild's president. "She was very adventurous. Her quilting was not traditional. She inspired people to reach outside of the box."

Weichert is just one of the members to have made a piece with a dragonfly as its focus, from Robinson's original design.
