Famed Quilts, Oregon Coast Preservation in Cannon Beach
 |
| Quilt by Eines |
(Cannon Beach) – The Cannon Beach History Center is hosting two fascinating features this season, with some world-famous quilts on exhibit until January and a lecture on preserving historical buildings that takes place November 24.
The hand-stitched quilts of Donna Eines will be featured at the Cannon Beach History Center through mid-January 2008. Eines’ quilts have appeared in magazines like Good Housekeeping and Quilting Today, and have made the cover of Quilt World Magazine. She has hung quilts in invitational quilt shows nationwide and in Japan. Eines’ quilting resume includes numerous “Best of Show” and “Best Quilting” awards, and too many shows to list. Needless to say, her craftsmanship is stunning.

Donna Eines was born in Seattle, Washington, and attended Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, where she met her husband. After moving to Edmonds, Washington, where she still resides, she became interested in quilting as a pastime while raising four children. In 1976, her interest evolved into a passion. Quilting has been a priority of hers ever since.
