Dublin Rippers Quilt Exhibit Closes
Name: Dublin Rippers Quilt Exhibit ClosesDate: August 9, 2019Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM CDT
Event Description:
This is the last day to view quilts and wall hangings by the Dublin Rippers quilting group! They are on display at the Tarleton Fine Arts Center.
The Dublin Rippers group began meeting weekly in 2000. The membership has changed over the years, but the group still meets to sew, solve life's problems, and support each other through happy and sad times.
Members Donna Timmons and Hazel Ashcraft have found joy in making quilts for family members, and solace in making quilts from the clothing of loved ones who have passed on. Peggy DeLaVerne quilts her amazement for the continent of Africa, where human life originated. Sonja Banister has a quilt for every holiday. Her hand-embellished creations are for sale on etsy.com. Suzanne Thompson, a long-time crocheter, adds crocheted flowers and doilies to her wall hangings.
The quilt display will draw you in from afar with color and pattern. Be sure to come closer and closer yet, to see the button, the bead, the perfect meeting of corners, the little detail, that will fill you with delight.
