We are excited about the Becket Arts Center Quilt which is the result of an astounding, community involved project. It is one-of-a-kind and honors the traditions of the quilt maker and the timelessness of the finely crafted object. Ellen DeGrave, of Cummington, Massachusetts, conceived, designed, machine pieced and hand quilted for the BAC as a fund raising project. Applique squares constructed during and after an open workshop at the Center used the BAC schoolhouse logo based on BAC’s home in the historic 1855 Seminary Hall in North Becket Village.

We thank everyone who made this project possible and especially the tireless energy which Ellen contributed. The squares were constructed by Linda Burzdak, Suzie Cichaski, Joan Davidson, Ellen DeGrave, Glenna Rubin & Valerie Welts. Quilt back fabric donated by Lorraine Rodman. Hand made wood hanger designed and made by William Powers. BAC logo design by Nan Bookless. Photograph by Stephen Petegorsky.

Tickets for a chance to win the Becket Arts Center Quilt are available during Gallery hours throughout the summer. Drawing to be made September 23 at 3pm. $5 per ticket or 3 for $10.
