Prairie Star Quilting Guild featured at 'Art of the Quilt' exhibit

Quilts by members of the Prairie Star Quilting Guild are now on display in the Arts in Bartlett gallery, 215 S. Main St.

With an emphasis on "art" quilts, the 21 pieces were created by Sharron Evans, Ruth Kay, Christine Schwartz and Diane Hubbard, all of Bartlett; Edith Hubbard and Melinda Van Dril-Beer, both of St. Charles; Linda Hays and Barbara Stewart, both of Batavia, Becky Hall and Kathy Steere, both of West Chicago; Susan Jensen of Geneva; Janis Sharpless of Wayne; and Susan Strasser of Elburn.

The guild also has handmade boutique items for the home on sale in the gallery.

"Art of the Quilt" runs through April 3. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. Friday.

Arts in Bartlett, now in its 15th year, is a nonprofit, all-volunteer arts council. For more information, contact art@artsinbartlett.org or (630) 372-4152.
