Quilts aren&#x2019;t merely blankets or bed spreads made from squares of scrap cloth tacked together. They&#x2019;re also heirlooms or an art form.</p><p>You can get a taste of that rich heritage this week the Lee&#x2019;s Summit Quilters&#x2019; Guild annual show which will have 198 quilts on display.</p><p>This year the featured quilter will be Jane Kennedy, a guild member who has published a quilting book &#x201C;Winter Trees&#x201D;, and developed the &#x201C;trees&#x201D; quilt, a technique she uses to create depth in scenes depicting landscapes.</p><p>&#x201C;It&#x2019;s a landscape, more on the art quilt side, not your traditional bed quilt,&#x201D; Kennedy said.</p><p>To give depth to the scenes, Kennedy said she chooses different shades and forms, sews them together, and then slices through them to sew in a strip of fabric about an inch wide to make tree trunks.</p><p>She&#x2019;s traveled Missouri, Kansas, Florida and Arkansas to give workshops on her technique.</p><p>To see her work: www.treequilts.com.</p><p>The show also will feature a bed turning, where antique quilts are laid in a layer on a bed and they&#x2019;re turned down one at a time and the story behind the quilt is told, said Sharon Neuer, a member.</p><p>The guild has about 160 members who meet monthly and have four workshops a year and invite national speakers, Neuer said. The show is a fundraiser to support its activities.</p><p>The Lee&#x2019;s Summit show is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 2 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 3 at Woods Chapel Methodist Church, 4725 NE Lakewood Way.</p><p>Neuer said this year the show is unusual in that the guild is partnering with another show to make it a joint quilt Hop, with passports available. </p><p>The show will feature demonstrations, boutiques, silent auctions and door prizes.</p><p>Admission is $3.
