Ogallala Quilt Festival committees and quilters are steadily gearing up for the annual event, with the deadline for entering now past and the first 200 entries accepted.
On April 4, the Ogallala Awards Dinner will be held, and April 5, Fantastic Friday Night is scheduled.
Fantastic Friday will feature Ruth Ann Berry, author, patterns designer and quilter. Berry is the author of “Bargello, Quilts in Motion”, “Braided Bargello”, and “Simplified 3D Quilts.” She has more than 50 individual quilt patterns available at major distributors throughout the world. Her focus is on composing quilt patterns designed to create the impression of motion and depth, especially Bargello and other threedimensional or geometric styles. She owns and operates a smalltown quilt shop and travels extensively to quilt shows and teaching engagements.
The OQS quilt auction will also be held at the Fantastic Friday event.
