Comfort in Color: A Fall Quilt Exhibit celebrates quilts as objects of warmth, memory, artistry, and community. Drawing inspiration from the rich colors of autumn, the exhibition explores how quilts provide comfort—both physical and emotional—through craftsmanship, family traditions, and creative expression.
Whether inspired by brilliant fall foliage, cozy evenings by the fire, cherished family heirlooms, or the simple joy of color, we invite quilters of all skill levels to share their work in this seasonal exhibition. Traditional, modern, art, and contemporary quilts are all welcome.
