Quilt Art 20 Celebrates International Quilters

Attention quilters of the world!  A visual treat is coming your way this summer!

Quilt Art is a group of international quilters with diverse styles and masterful skills.  Each quilter has a distinct body of work, but they come together each year to exhibit their work and share their passion with the public.  Many of the members are teachers and lecturers, as well.

In celebration of their twentieth anniversary, Quilt Art 20 is a collection of their work that will travel all over the world this year. We hope you'll get a chance to view this incredible group of quilts, whether they are in your neighborhood, part of your summer travels, or just a few clicks away on their website!
