Piecing, applique, needlework, and quilting have been used for several millennia across the world. Textile products traditionally associated with quilting include bed coverings, home furnishings, garments and costumes, wall hangings and cultural artifacts. Exceptional examples of all of these will be on display over Memorial Day weekend here in Chewelah at this year’s Quilt Show.
Be sure to mark your calendars and invite friends and family! There will be something for everyone, with door prizes and quilts of every shape, color, design, and size! Around the Block 22nd Annual Chewelah Quilt Show Memorial Day Weekend: May 25 & 26, 2024 Saturday 10-5 pm, Sunday 11-3 pm Jenkins High School

In the Spotlight…
CAG's Brand New
Arts in Schools Program The Chewelah Arts Guild is excited about its newest program, Arts in Schools. This program expands Arts experiences in area classrooms during regular school hours. A Registry of vetted local Artist Instructors and their projects allows classroom teachers to choose Arts lessons for their students that fit curriculum, student age level and learning goals.
The program pays Artist Instructors for their classroom time. Assistance is available for supply costs related to the Arts project. Lessons and projects may include watercolor, collage, printmaking, murals, poetry and writing, clay, fiber art, movement and dance, photography, and music-making. Local field trips guided by the Artist Instructor as part of a specific project may also be included in the Arts in Schools Program. Lessons in this program will inspire young art students! Program Co-Coordinators are Gail Churape: gail.churape@gmail.com and Susanne Griepp: sgriepp65@gmail.com. Download and print the Classroom Teacher forms here:
