Experience quilts made by over 120 artists as inspired by their dreams of the prairie and displayed for one day only along a trail in Frontenac State Park. Each quilter was challenged to incorporate the same 3 fabrics and anything else they’d like to represent a prairie’s elemental aspects of earth, wind, and fire. See quilts based on stories passed down through generations, evoking hope for the future and representing daydreams of clouds scudding across the sky while listening to songbirds nearby.
This Trail of Quilts is for 1 day only, June 13, from 10 am to 5 pm. Park entry is free. Rain date is June 20. More information is here: https://frontenacstateparkassociation.weebly.com/prairie-dreams.html

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
