LAKEPORT >> The Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild presents Colleen Granger as the featured quilter at the guild”s 13th Annual Falling Leaves Quilt Show at the Lake County Fairgrounds.
Show hours are Oct. 4, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 5, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Granger works with an assortment of designs both traditional and contemporary. Her “Bodacious” group starts with a traditional-looking design and kicks it up with eye-catching colors and asymmetrical lines. The spinning patterns and colors in Her “Kaleido-quickies” and “Circle Quilts” dazzle the eye.
“As an instructor and designer, it is my goal to break projects down to their easiest form of construction so that everyone can be successful,” Granger said. “While I am sure that I am not 100 percent, I do strive to make my books and projects easy to construct, but to make them look difficult.”
She will be present Saturday and Sunday to talk with guests and hold demonstrations at the quilt show.
The Falling Leaves Quilt Show will feature about 200 quilts from minis a few inches across to king-size bedcovers executed in a variety of techniques and in all colors of the spectrum. Other attractions will be the Country Store Boutique, a vendor mall, quilting demonstrations, themed gift baskets and an opportunity quilt. Angelina”s Bakery will cater lunch Saturday and Sunday.
