Tri-City Quilters' Guild

This January, the Gallery at the Park welcomes back the Tri-City Quilters’ Guild! The Guild has been regularly featured at the Gallery at the Park for more than 30 years.

Since its origination in 1982, the Tri-City Quilters’ Guild has been dedicated to promoting the art of quilting through education and fellowship. Today, its membership has grown to more than 300 quilters. Their goals include sharing information about quilting, creating comfort quilts for local agencies and enjoying other activities related to quilt creation, collection and appreciation.

The Tri-City Quilters’ Guild produces one of the largest annual quilt shows in Washington, filling Kennewick’s Three Rivers Convention Center with more than 400 quilts. Guild members also participate in monthly meetings, friendship groups, community service sewing days and many other activities.

Stop by the Gallery at the Park to see the Tri-City Quilters’ Guild’s raffle quilt for 2020. Every year, the Guild raffles a quilt made by local members, and the proceeds from raffle ticket sales go towards fabric and other materials used to create comfort quilts, which are given to local human service agencies.

This year’s raffle quilt is called “Modern Metamorphosis,” and it is a collaborative creation of the Make It Modern friendship group. Tula Pink provided the pattern, In the Beginning donated the fabric and Dana Pearson designed the quilting.

Purchase a raffle ticket at the Gallery for $1.00. The winner of the raffle  will be announced at the annual quilt show, located at Three Rivers Convention Center, on March 21 at 4 p.m. Visit the Tri-City Quilters’ Guild website at tcquilters.org to learn more.

The quilt show will be on display at the Gallery at the Park from Jan. 7 to 31, and the reception will be held on Jan. 12.
