2024 Quilt – Bridge of Quilts (66″ x 72″)

It is professionally quilted by Lisa Taylor and features a lighthouse, a ship, a mermaid, and other nautical themes. The three dimensional miniature quilts bring the poster to life.

For the guild’s 32nd anniversary, a lovely design by Natalie Crabtree was brought to life by more than thirty members of OCQG. Done in shades of teal and cream with quilting designs that include a mermaid, a ship, and lots of fish and shells, the quilt would be a great addition to a bed or to a wall. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and can be purchased from Meralee Wilson, 541-563-6651. The winning ticket will be drawn at the guild’s show, “Quilts by the Sea,” on August 5, 2023.

2022 Quilt – Coastal Twilight (84″ x 84″)

This exquisite quilt was precision-pieced and constructed by guild member and Featured Quilter, Velma Freudenthal. Quilting by another award winning member, Lisa Taylor, adds dimension and life.

Thank you to all the block piercers and Jean Amundson for the name. Cindy McEntee also helped with the color designing.
