Central Oregon SAQA Group Exhibits in Pendleton

Five groups of "Whisper" quilts from Central Oregon SAQA members are being shown at the Pendleton Center for the Arts, 214 North Main, during the month of March. Groups of five to six people were drawn out of a hat. Number one person made a small wall quilt and passed it on to number two person with no comments and no title. Number two person "responded" to the piece in some way and made her quilt, one month later she passed it on to number three and kept the first quilt. At the end of six months we had a reveal party and shred the quilts. It was amazing how they all related to each other in each group.
