FORKS — The creator of the 15-foot-wide, 6-foot-high Supper Quilt will tell how he did it in a presentation on the final day of RainFest.
Donald E. Locke, a dentist from Waxahachie, Texas, will talk about how the Supper Quilt, a quilt replica of “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci, was made during a lecture at 12:30 p.m. today at Congregational Church, 280 S. Spartan Ave.
Supper Quilt
Admission is by donation.
The Supper Quilt, which has been displayed in 22 states and five countries, is being exhibited for the first time in Washington state.
It has been on display at the church since Friday and will be exhibited there from noon to 4 p.m. today.
The quilt was made by blowing up a photograph of da Vinci’s artwork until it “pixillated” and recreating each pixel color in a 1-inch fabric square.
Fabrics of the Forest
Across the street at the Forks High School auxiliary gym at 261 S. Spartan Ave. is the Fabrics of the Forest quilt show, which offers more than 100 quilts made by the Piecemakers Quilt Club.
The American Hero Quilters will display 15 quilts — all made of American red, white and blue fabrics to comfort wounded soldiers — at the Peninsula College Extension site at 71 S. Forks Ave.
Both are from noon to 4 p.m. today, with admission by donation.
