Quilting for a Silo



Several members of the Estes Valley Quilt Guild spent the day working on a large quilt which will be hung in the Estes Park Event Center Silo building shown on the left in the above photo. The town commissioned our guild to create a 6 ft. by 10 ft. quilt to hang on one of the interior walls of the silo to help with the acoustics in the space.

The guild members are making a much larger version of the quilt shown below, Into the Woods, designed by Kara Peterson, a former Estes Park quilter.

 

Today we were pleased to finish piecing all the background blocks in shades of brown, gold, green, blue, and red. Our sewing machines were really humming. Here are a few photos of the silo quilt workshop held in the multi-purpose room at Good Samaritan Village.
