Pattern and Passion Exhibit 2012

“This is a Quilt!”, a travelling exhibit from Studio Art Quilt Associates, begins February

11, 2012, at the Stratford Perth Museum. An exhibit of spectacular contemporary,

miniature art quilts, “This is a Quilt!” showcases the diverse talents and styles of more

than 40 different contributing artists, and broadens the idea of what a quilt is and how it

is made.

These extraordinary pieces will be complimented by a selection of traditional heritage

quilts from the museum’s own collection.

The show is a powerful opportunity for visitors to view and make a personal connection

with the patterns and passion expressed in quilts made as early as the 1800s and as

recently as 2011 by artists using a wide variety of styles, techniques, and fibers. If you

love folk art, textiles and craftsmanship, this is the show for you.
