Theme and Description
While quilts can certainly keep you warm and cozy, today’s quilts often become works of art when they’re not being so utilitarian. See how the use of vibrant fabrics and patterns come together in all shapes and sizes. It’s time for folks to share their quilted designs that are no greater than 60” square. Gallery space is limited submit today! Artistically quilted garments may also be submitted for this exhibition.
An exciting part of this exhibition will be mini quilts created by the Jersey Shore Modern Quilt Guild in honor of their 10th anniversary. These Art Quilts will have some reference to “10” in them and the subject will represent a Jersey Shore 2022 Summer experience. We’re sure you’ll enjoy this unique exhibit.
