Aug. 18. Four contemporary quilt artists showcase their distinct threads, all with the common theme of the yo-yo pattern. Considered a novelty among traditional quilt patterns, the yo-yo-patterned quilt is made from circles of fabric gathered around the edge and stitched together. These coverlets were popularized in the ’30s to bring a note of cheer to Depression-era bedrooms. Includes opening reception for the artists. Aug. 18. 5-8 p.m. Garner-Furnish Studio, 642 E. Market St. 594-2039.
