Give a Unique Mount Hood Coverlet
A Keepsake Gift for the Benefit of Hoodland Senior Center
When you come to the Villages of Mt Hood keep an eye out for the limited edition coverlets that the local gift shops are selling. The design is based on Sue Allen’s original screenprint series “Around Mt. Hood: 12 Months – 12 Directions” which depicts the sides and seasons of Mt Hood.
This collectible coverlet is a the kind of present that is fun to give and a joy to receive. You can find them at Whispering Woods, Made on Mt. Hood, In Sheep’s Clothing,Wy’east Book Shoppe & Art Gallery and Hoodland Senior Center for $65. They are 100% cotton and their size is 51 x 57” plus fringe.
Proceeds from the sale of these beautiful coverlets benefit Hoodland Senior Center. “I was asked to be the artist for the 2009 coverlet, and I suggested they use all 12 images from my screenprint series (they had thought maybe one). I donated use of my images to the Senior Center, they had it prototyped and 100 were finally woven” says Sue.
The original screenprint series began in 2006 when Sue Allen was awarded a grant from the Clackamas County Cultural Coalition and the Oregon Cultural Trust, for her screenprint design project - “Around Mt. Hood: 12 Months - 12 Directions.”
The series of 12 original limited-edition screenprints depicts views of the mountain from different directions in different months. Sue gathered ideas and information for her project by taking scenic drives, hikes in the national forest, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing; often bringing friends along on her Mt Hood research adventure.
The coverlets are also available by contacting Sue Allen at 503-522-3611.
