Donation Quilt

2021 Donation Quilt, “Tidal Transitions” (85x85)

A Storm at Sea quilt has always been on Kim Olmedo’s bucket list. Designing this year’s quilt was a good opportunity for her to create one and to play with color. Kim started it several months into Covid-19; that “storm” was always on her mind, as she and everyone else has tried to stay focused on a brighter future.

The quilt was pieced by Kim Olmedo, Sharon Ligon, and Debbie Panton. Quilted by Pat Madrid.

Donation2017
The Etcetera Art Quilt Group challenged themselves to create a quilted work of art using an improvisational style. Each member created “blocks” to be sliced and diced and reassembled into a pleasing arrangement. Members paired off and developed layouts independently and the group voted unanimously on this design. The result is a stunning piece with bold colors and organic movement. Donna Akins did the quilting. A portion of the raised funds was donated to SafeHaven.
