The Fiber Arts Center Presents “PA German Love of Color Exhibit.” The German immigrants brought with them the desire to decorate their modest and very plain homes. The mid to late 1800’s explosion of bold colors and designs were captured by the Pennsylvania Germans in their quilts. Their unique designs, color combinations and quilting patterns have created the “Dutch” folk art that is collected today. The quilt makers’ desire of color and design can also be seen on the back of their quilts during this time period of the nineteenth century. Their folk art and love of color is showcased in the exhibit entitled “PA German Love of Color.” You will enjoy seeing what they considered their “best quilts”, which were made and passed onto future generations. We have lived our entire life in Berks County, the heart of “Pennsylvania Dutch Country,” and are thankful for the opportunity to share some of our local history. Please enjoy the exhibit as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Arlan & Pat Christ, The Christ Collection. This exhibit will be on display at the Fiber Arts Center in Denton from July 31 through October 5, 2024, and is free for all to enjoy.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9 THROUGH SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 2025

The American Quilt Study Group Medallion Exhibit. One of the earliest quilt designs, the medallion has remained a strong and dominant style in quilts for over 200 years. The Fiber Arts Center of the Eastern Shore is honored to host a very special quilt exhibit featuring medallion quilts from the American Study Group (AQSG). This exhibit is a collection of quilts from the AQSG 2021 Quilt Study challenge. The AQSG Quilt Study challenged members to learn the history of an individual quilt by selecting one that addresses a specified design, style, or period, and make a small replica or interpretation of the historic quilt. These quilts are no larger than 42” x 42”. Framed Center /Medallion Quilts was the study theme for the 2021 challenge. These quilts cover a time period ranging from the early 19th century to the mid 20th century. Come and join us as we take a deeper look at the history of these amazing medallions! The exhibit is free of charge and open to everyone during our regular hours Wednesday - Saturday, 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm at the Fiber Arts Center in Denton, MD.
