As in the past shows, the Witt-Birn District students put on another delightful show with over 100 pieces of art on display, from grades K – 12. The art was chosen by the three district art teachers-Naomi Engleke, Diana Wendler, and Keven Brunett-over the course of the 2021-2022 school year, putting aside pieces chosen to be included in the spring show.
The show extended for 3 weekends with the culminating weekend part of the Wittenberg Community Days, with over a dozen of the participants riding on the WOW wagon in the parade. A reception at the WOWSPACE Gallery was enjoyed by all, supporting, congratulating, and picture taking of the lucky participants! The creativity and talent of these students are always refreshing and enjoyed by all who visit!
Refreshments were donated by Lisa’s Sweet Shoppe and Catering, and the show was sponsored by WOW and Cirrinity.

The show included the quilted creations of 26 different quilters from 18 different cities as well as 2 antique Grandmother’s Flower Garden creations.
Rose Grych of Wausau, WI received the Award of Excellence for her quilt titled My Fresh Cut Flower Garden. Rose’s quilt was a colorful wool applique embellished with intricate embroidery. This award recognizes the high level of technical skill and difficulty employed by the quilter. The recipient is chosen by local quilt club quilters with entries in the show.
3 Peoples’ Choice awards were presented based on votes cast by visitors to the show who were asked to vote for the quilt or quilts which appealed to them the most. Each visitor was allowed 3 votes.
1st place went to Marge Beine of Hatley, WI for Purple Elephant. Marge used paper piecing techniques to create the mosaic effect.
2nd place was awarded to Victoria Reigel of Birnamwood, WI for Friendship, Memories and Hope (Camp Toad). Her quilt commemorates the life and love of her husband and gives praise to how women often bless the lives of other women.
3rd place was awarded to Barb Boettcher of Crivitz, WI for My Quilt of Life. Incorporating a sampler of colorful pieced blocks of varying sizes appliqued with silhouettes in black, her quilt commemorates many significant events that have made up her life thus far.
