Wingin’ It by Susanne Scholz

The Pacific Piecemakers Quilt Guild (PPQG) presents its Annual Quilt Challenge, Wingin’ It, this spring at Gualala Arts. With no required fabric, block, or size, this year’s playful theme encourages quilters to unleash their imaginations and creatively interpret what “Wingin’ It” means to them.

The exhibit opens with a reception on Friday, May 14, from 4 to 6 p.m. and will remain on view through June 6, 2027, in the Burnett Gallery and Jacob Foyer.
