Each year the Rogue Valley Piecemakers creates an Opportunity Quilt and offers an "Opportunity" to win it by raffle.
About the Quilt!
The inspiration for this quilt came from our RVP English Paper Piecing Group. Member Liza Crosse was working on the world famous "Brimfield Awakening" EPP design, when Member Barbara Hammel saw it and suggested it would make a great “Opportunity Quilt”. The EPP group members quickly rallied around the idea and decided to feature the beautiful “Hibernation” fabrics by Tilda. So many opportunities for “fussy cutting” excited the group, and you can see the result as the little creatures and botanical motifs appear in the quilt. EPP group members Gayle Clark, Yvonne Cook, Liza Crosse, Lauri Dobbs, Brenda Ferrario, Sandie French, Kim Gillett, Kerry Keating, Trudy Kinsel, Janet Nies, Cathy Penland, Janet Sheldon, Debbie Wheeler, all contributed to the EPP and applique work, and the quilt was assembled by Barbara Hammel. Stellar quilting was provided by member Candy O’Brien. The finished dimensions of the queen-sized quilt are 93” x 93.”
