Crazy things can be seen around Cave Junction this summer.
And right now, the crazy creation is displayed at Sterling Savings Bank at 110 N. Redwood Hwy. in Downtown Cave Junction.
It“s the colorful 2010 “Valley Girls Gone Crazy“ Quilt, created by the Valley Girls Quilters.
This summer, the quilted, embroidered and beaded creation also will be displayed at several locations, including local financial institutions, the Cave Junction Second Friday Art Walk, the Grants Pass Growers“ Market and other public events. Raffle tickets will be available at each outing.
The jewel-toned quilt will be raffled during the group“s third annual quilt show, set for Oct. 15 and 16 at Illinois Valley Senior Center. The show will feature never-before-seen quilts made by Illinois Valley quilters.
There also will be a display of “challenge quilts“ that will feature renditions of the historic Holland Store on Holland Loop in the Holland district of Illinois Valley.
Proceeds from the show and raffle will benefit the Illinois Valley Section of the Boys & Girls Club, and the Illinois Valley High School Booster Club Track Project.
The Valley Girls is an exceptionally informal group that meets periodically to plan and prepare for the annual fund-raising show. And participants always are looking for extra help as well as local quilters who would like to show their own “never-before-shown“ quilts.
