Art Hits the Wall opened last Friday at the Rossignol Centre in Liverpool, NS. This is a collaborative exhibition between quilters and rug hookers held every 2 years. It originally started out with the Mahone Bay Quilters Guild as a quilt show for quilters to make a wallhanging inpsired by a work of art. Doris Eaton was one of the jurors and she soon suggested that it become a joint show with rug hookers and quilters with work being made to a theme. This year's theme was "Tides of Time". Polly Greene and Doris have been involved ever since along with other committee members and the support of the Rossignol Centre.

The show is on till August 28, though there are not as many quilted pieces as in the past it is a delightful show to go and see. Plans are underway for the 2013 show and the theme will be "Kaleidoscopes".
