2:00 pm Gallery Show Opening: Sharon Slimmen--Quilter
Beach Corner Arts Studios of Ettrick, Wisconsin proudly announces an exhibit of the work of Holmen quilter Sharon Slimmen, featuring a celebration of her creativity with music and refreshments for the public on Saturday, October 10 from 2-6 p.m. Sharon began quilting over 25 years ago at the suggestion of friends, and promptly joined the LaCrosse Area Quilters. Though it took her four and a half years to complete her first quilt, doing it completely by hand, it received the “First Time Quilter Award” at the American Quilting Society show in Paducah, Kentucky in 1989. That same year she began teaching, first locally, later in the greater La Crosse area. She worked and sold her quilts at the Pine View Sewing Center in Trempealeau, until its closing, when she opened her own shop, “Wooden Shoe Quilts” in Holmen. Recently retired, she divides her time between machine quilting and individual and small group instruction. To date she has made over 300 quilts and wall-hangings, including a six-footer that her grandson helped her design, to commemorate 911, which she will have on exhibit. She also contributed to the huge Discover America Quilt that was assembled for the NY city Folk Arts Museum to celebrate the discovery of America and created other commemorative quilts for the State of Wisconsin, City of Onalaska, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Many of her quilts have found their way into private collections, and articles about them have appeared in magazines, newspapers, and books. Sharon's work strays from traditional and conventional quilts, which use geometrical patterns. Her unique quilts feature abstract compositions and even narratives and themes. For those of us who think that creativity springs solely from youth, you will be astounded and inspired by the work of this young at heart senior. The show will remain open thru November: Thurs-Sat: 10-5 or by appointment.
