As a painter uses a brush and paint to create a work of art, the quilter uses fabric and a needle to create a familiy heirloom. Exhibit showcases quilts from the collection of Arlan and Pat Christ – the glorious colors used by Pennsylvania Germans in the late 1800′s in their quilts. Display available for viewing Thursdays-Saturdays.
