Hoffman Challenge Quilts by Elsie VredenburgIn celebration of the 25th year of the Hoffman Challenge, Artworks will exhibit the quilt entries of our own artist, Elsie Vredenburg. Elsie is a graduate of Michigan State and holds a BS in Home Economics Education. Elsie began quilting at the insistence of her grandmother.

In Elsie’s words, “I quilt because I love fabric in its many colorsand patterns, and I love cutting it up and sewing it back together to make new designs. Even though I always said I had no artistic talent (translation: ability to draw) and avoided art classes every time I could, I think deep in my heart, this is what I always longed to be able to do. I make quilts for enjoyment, both mine and others.”

Ongoing ProgramsTuesdays, Weekly | 9:00 AM Artworks Education Center
