Exhibit:
LaRayne Woodward | "Something to Treasure"

Hello everyone! My name is LaRayne Woodward and I am a true Tillamook County citizen. I was born in the US. Nehalem and have lived there all my life. My husband and I had a dairy farm and raised five children. I took up sewing in the early years and decided that it was time to start making the quilts I admired. With all the sewing that I had done, it would be a shoo-in to make quilts, right? Wrong. I had to learn a whole new skill, and it took a while. I started quilting in the late 1970s and I can't say how many years it took for me to get good at making quilts.

These last 10 years or so, I have come to admire two quilt designers. One is Kim Diehl of the US, and the other is Jen Kingwell from Australia. I find their designs exciting to make especially Jen Kingwell’s as they have a lot of handwork and piecing by hand. I hope those who come to visit Latimer will enjoy the quilts that will be on display.

Communication shapes who we are and how we connect with others. This dynamic exhibition features Studio Art Quilt Association (SAQA) Oregon artists exploring the power of verbal communication through textile art. Each quilt is both an object and a voice, sharing personal stories, common experiences, and universal truths. Together these works invite viewers to pause, listen, and reflect on the lasting power of words and the ways communication shapes our lives.
