Cherry City Cut Ups is a group of about fifteen quilt makers that meets in The Dalles to share ideas and keep the ancient craft of quilt making alive. They are mostly in their 70s and eighties, but one woman is still doing top-notch work at ninety one. On Saturday the Cherry City Cut Ups will be sponsoring a free quilt show.

The feature quilt in this year’s show is 130 years old and from the Sandoz family of Sandoz Farm. And it’s crazy. It’s supposed to be. And there is a lot to crow about.
