We are so excited to be able to have Hollis Chatelain give a special presentation as part of our Quilt Show this year! Hollis, who spent a number of years in Switzerland and with the Peace Corps in West Africa, lives in Hillsborough NC, where she creates amazing quilts that have been shown and honored nationally and internationally. She won 'Best of Show' at Houston most recently in November 2007 and has consistently won top awards at major shows since her return to the United States in 1996.
Her work, painted and then quilted, is known for its emotion and social statement and her African imagery in particular shares the love and joy she found in her years on that continent. On the Saturday evening of our Quilt Show, Hollis Chatelain will be focusing on "Influences of Africa" with a lecture and trunk show followed by a question and answer forum. This is a wonderful opportunity and we hope to see you there!
