Quilt Gallery Walk and Talk
On Friday, June 5, Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society member Becky Leavy led participants in the Bowling Green Gallery Hop and Alumni College events through the 2009 KHQS Annual Quilt Show, “Save the Planet.” The quilts and wall hangings in this feature were made into patterns depicting the seasons, the world (World Without End, Wonder of the World, etc), natural phenomena (Ocean waves, Storms at Sea, etc) with fabric featuring clouds, waves, water, animals, planets, and other nature themes.
was this dedicated to global warming or was it just an excibit are they for sale?
The quilters in this exhibit are members of the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society and were free to interpret the theme of “Save the Planet” however they chose. Some of them probably had a more environmental message behind their quilts but most chose patterns or looked for elements in their quilts that somehow tied into nature and the world around us. Several featured birds as part of the design for example.
They are not for sale.

Were those made by hand?!
Some were made by hand and some by machine and some by a combination of both hand and machine work.
Wow, that’s such a beautiful quilt! My Grandmother makes quilts so I know a lot about them. I’ve heard that some quilts sell for $20,000 (or more) at auction! We have a quilt show every year here at the Josephine County Fairgrounds in Grants Pass, Oregon and the work I get to see is simply amazing!
