Artists participating in Cherrywood Fabrics’s Art Quilt Challenge use the company’s hand dyed fabrics for their creations. The fabrics look and feel like suede and are a dream to use so Art Quilters from all over the country anticipate each year’s challenge topic. The Diana Cherrywood Challenge 2020-21 took inspiration from Diana, Princess of Wales, to create unique quilts using a limited color palette — pink and white. All of the quilts are the same color, fabric, size, and theme and were divided into three touring groups: Diamond, Pearl, and Rose. Fiber Art at The Barn (FAB) is sponsoring an exhibition of the DIamond and Pearl Collections.
