Simple Comforts

September 14 – November 13

The Sugar Creek Quilters Guild presents "Simple Comforts", a quilt show featuring art quilts, whimsical quilts, and just comfy lap quilts.  A challenge was issued to the guild two years ago to create a quilt for this show that depicted something that gives simple comfort.  The range of interpretation goes from using a loved ones ties or flannel shirts to presenting a representation of the wonder of nature.  Mark your calendar to visit this show.
