Art Quilts

What is an Art Quilt?
An art quilt is an original exploration of a concept or idea rather than the handing down of a “pattern." It experiments with textile manipulation, color, texture and/or a diversity of mixed media. An Art Quilt often pushes quilt world boundaries. An Art Quilt should . consist predominately of fiber or a fiber-like material with one or multiple layers which are held together with stitches or piercing of the layers.

The art quilt group meets the third Monday of every month from 10:00 to noon at a member's home.
