Annual quilt and wall hanging exhibition
on display at the Culture Center
July 9, 2010
The West Virginia Division of Culture and History’s annual exhibition, Quilts and Wall Hangings 2010, is on display in the Great Hall of the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex in Charleston. The crowd-pleasing juried exhibition features 70 exquisite quilts and wall hangings representing the talents of West Virginia quilters. Quiltmaking is one of West Virginia’s oldest and most treasured art forms, and this annual display has become a tradition with visitors from all over the United States and abroad. The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 7.
Prizes were awarded in four categories: pieced quilts, appliqued quilts, mixed/other quilts and wall hangings. First- ($500), second- ($400), and third-place ($300) awards were given at the Friday evening concert of the Vandalia Gathering, May 28. The Division also made two purchase awards, one quilt and one wall hanging, and the judge designated a Best of Show prize of $100. In addition, seven non-monetary honorable mention distinctions were made. A complete list of exhibitors and winners is attached.
Doris Goins of Kendallville, Ind., served as judge for this year’s exhibition. A sewing enthusiast since early childhood, Goins began quilting in 1992 as a way to express her creativity and relieve the stress of being a working mother. This new hobby soon turned into a full-time position as she opened a longarm machine quilting business, Loving Stitches, in 1996.
Goins is continually trying out new techniques in her quilts, both traditional and contemporary in style. Her work has won several Hoffman Fabric Challenge awards, as well as other local and national contests. She was designated as a certified judge by the National Quilting Association in 2005.
