The Milwaukie Center, 5440 S.E. Kellogg Creek Drive, will host its 15th annual quilt show from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

The exhibit theme is "My Oregon," in honor of the 150th anniversary of statehood. Quilts from the community range from vintage hand-quilted to current machine-made quilts. In the past, an average of 100 to 160 quilts have been entered.

A raffle will be held for a "Tapestry Rose Our Way" quilt, created by the center's quilting team, which adapted its own version of the standard Tapestry Rose pattern. Tickets are $1 or six for $5 and are available at the center's gift shop.

On Friday, there will be a suggested $3 donation and on Saturday admission is $3. You may purchase lunch either day. Sponsors are Sellwood Landing, Clackamas Federal Credit Union, Mill End Store and Friends of the Milwaukie Center. For information, call 503-653-8100.
