Polly Plumb Productions is hosting International Challenge Art Quilt Show.
The theme is Fairy Tales.
A display of the 2015 International Challenge Art Quilt Show will be at the Yachats Commons.
This exhibit features works of 90 art quilters from the USA, Japan and France, each representing one of 30 Fairy Tales in a piece of fiber art. The result is 90 small quilts, hung vertically on panels for each Fairy Tale, so viewers can compare the work of one nation to the next.

Admission is a suggested donation of $5.00
Above is a photograph of the quilt created by Kathie R. Kerler for the International Quilt Show. It will be on display at the upcoming show in October 2018.
An International Fairy Tale Challenge — Kathie R. Kerler
I recently completed a small quilt for an international challenge whose theme is “A World of Fairy Tales” featuring 30 fairy/folk tales from Japan, France, and the US. There are thirty quilters from each country with one quilter from each interpreting the same tale, resulting in three variations of the same theme. The tale I chose was How the Rainbow Was Made, an Ojibwe nation creation tale. In this story, Nanabozho notices all of the flowers in the field are white. He decides to paint them one of six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. He brings his paint pots out and begins painting. Two bluebirds arrive on the scene and begin chasing each other back and forth. As they do so, their wings dip into the paint pots, creating a rainbow in the sky. Interestingly enough, the actual rainbow has a seventh color–indigo–but it doesn’t appear in this tale. I chose to follow the story and left indigo out.
