"OUR NATIONAL PARKS" PROJECT

The Rambling River Art Quilters are a group of quilters from the St. Louis, MO and Kansas City, MO metrolpolitan area.  For more information about them and to see their previous projects check their blog.  This is their 2013 project.  It was revealed in Columbia, MO on Saturday, October 26th, and of course, there was some fabric therapy included.  Each group  decided how the project would be displayed.  The East Side girls wanted their pieces to be individual, so they could have them back at the end of the display cyle, thus they made a hanging package with sleeves that can be seen from both sides.  The West Side Girls used a "quilt as you go" method to join all their indidually quilted pieces together.  They can be separated at the end of the cycle as well.

Next year's project was announced, and 15 participants selected their packages.  Next October, TILES will be shared!  

If you double click on each photograph, it will enlarge so that you can see the details.
