Gualala Arts Promoting public interest and participation in the arts since 1961
The Dolphin Gallery in the SeaCliff Center will host the Pacific Piecemakers Quilt Guild (PPQG) as the featured artists for the month of December 31. The exhibition will start on Saturday, December 2 and run until the end of the month. The PPQG will display their handmade, unique housewares such as microwave bowls, placemats, aprons and potholders, as well as their adorable and cozy stuffed animals and quilts of various sizes. The proceeds of this exhibit will be a fundraiser for the PPQG’s programming, helping to cover the cost of workshop instructors and guest lecturers.
The goal of Pacific Piecemakers Quilt Guild is to promote quilting along the Sonoma/Mendocino coast. PPQG offers monthly educational programs, lectures, and workshops for quilters of all skill levels as well as opportunities for members to give back to their community using those skills.
Monthly meetings feature programs to inspire quilters in all aspects of quilting ranging from traditional to contemporary art quilt techniques and development of textile and wearable art. Lectures and workshops are presented by world famous quilters as well as our local talent. PPQG also coordinates several quilt shows and quilt challenges in the community.
“Comfort quilts” are made by members and distributed to a variety of local assistance organizations as a means of service back to our community. Additionally, PPQG makes a quilt to be raffled at Art in the Redwoods as a fund raiser for the Gualala Arts Scholarship Fund.
