A Showcase of Quilts:
Dazzling Contemporary Creations
"A Showcase of Quilts: Dazzling Contemporary Creations" is open at The People’s Place Quilt Museum in Intercourse (along Route 340, east of Lancaster). ADMISSION IS FREE
The exhibit showcases 25 contemporary quilts, selected for their outstanding design, color, and workmanship. A number of educational features about the art and practice of quiltmaking are included. The exhibit has been curated by Jan Mast, Manager of The People’s Place Quilt Museum and Museum Shoppe. Phyllis Pellman Good and Merle Good served as Consultants for the exhibit.
"We are honoring the many creative decisions and acts involved in making a quilt,” commented Mast. “The exhibit explores how a quilt becomes a masterpiece. And in the spirit of both celebration and education, we are offering free admission to the show."
The People’s Place Quilt Museum has received extensive national acclaim for its exhibits of antique Amish and Mennonite quilts since it first opened in 1988. It has also exhibited stunning African American quilts, as well as a show of antebellum album quilts. “We may return to exhibiting antique quilts in the future, but this year we wanted to give attention to the art of contemporary quilt design,” said the Goods.
The Museum Shoppe has recently been enlarged and features one-of-akind creations by fabric artists and folk-art artisans from across the country.
The Museum is open Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located on the second floor of the historic Old Country Store along Route 340 in the village of Intercourse, PA. For more information, call 800/828-8218, Ext. 231.
