This exhibition is on view through the month of August. As part of this exhibition, attend a demo and lecture at The Brush on August 8 at 2PM.
At NEQM, take in The Best of the Region's Quilt Guilds, a diverse selection of exceptional quilts representing some of the largest and most prestigious quilt guilds in New England. This exhibition is FREE thanks to community partners, business sponsors, and supporting quilt guilds, and is on display through August 16.
