Pushing the Boundaries of Quiltmaking
04 July 2005

Quilt Art Twenty, a major touring exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of Quilt Art, is on at the Collins Gallery in Glasgow.

Quilt Art, founded in 1985, is a group of professional makers committed to producing innovative work which extends the boundaries of quiltmaking.  There are currently 21 members from across the UK, Europe and USA, all of whom are showing at the exhibition.

Diversity is one of the group’s greatest strengths, through makers’ selection and employment of new and traditional techniques and materials, and of equal significance, their individual cultural heritages.
