Join us on July 28 from 1-3 pm to celebrate the STITCHED exhibitions at Crosstown Arts. This will be the last time you’ll be able to see the shows. We’re going to announce the viewer’s choice awards, debut the community quilt made during Maria Shell’s workshop in June, and acknowledge all of the artists and volunteers who made these shows a reality.

Announcement of the Viewer’s Choice awards will be at 2pm. We will be asking artists to take their quilts down during the celebration. Artists are encouraged to take pictures of your quilt and post them on the Stitched2019 Facebook page as a remembrance of the events. If you will be picking up a quilt for another person you will need to have written permission from that person.

BLUE show posters will be available at the event.

If you have a quilt in the show and are unable to attend the event, your quilt will be available for pick up from July 29-August 2 from 12-4pm, Tuesday through Friday at Crosstown Arts. Note that the galleries are closed on Monday.

A regional quilt challenge in conjunction with Stitched: The Art of Quilting. The BLUE challenge features over 230 quilts in blue made by quilters and artists from the Mid-South.

Artists were asked to design traditional, modern or art-focused quilts. These range from appliquéd, pieced, collaged, fused, engineered, hand- or machine-stitched, 3-D, painted, sculpted, and any variation in between. The only thing they have in common: 3 layers and stitching.

This event is in conjunction with Stitched: Celebrating the Art of Quilting — a festival at Crosstown Arts with art exhibitions, public quilting workshops, and a Gathering of the Guilds showcase. Stitched runs from May 10-July 28, 2019.
