Kenmore Quilt SquareS

The Village of Kenmore is fortunate to have a top quality fabric store here, Pine Grove Quilt Shop located at 2962 Delaware Avenue.  Knowing the interest local sewers have in the quilting arts, the KVIS and the Pine Grove created a Kenmore Quilt Squares Contest. The squares submitted to the contest were to show what the artist saw as the most outstanding features of the Village.  
The creator of the winning square, Patricia Ohtake is a fabric artist of great skill and care who has since created another quilt square for the KVIS for the All-America City Finals Quilt.  Patricia received a contest award of a $100 gift certificate to Pine Grove Quilt Shop from the KVIS and Pine Grove.  

Patricia remarked on the inspiration behind her square:
“The Village of Kenmore gives one such a welcoming feeling. I chose to create a street scene that I feel reflects the type of homes and the neat, organized manner that the properties are kept. The sidewalks allow for people to walk and greet their neighbors. The Memorial Day parade is such a source of pride for the community that I wanted to be sure to include a flag pole and flag in my quilt. The mature tree attests the long history of the village. Since Kenmore is one of the top 10 cities to reside in, I wanted to provide an “Americana” feel. The patchwork border also suggests another aspect that I have always loved—the homey feeling I have when I’ve been in Kenmore.”
