Good Library Gallery
Exhibit: "Full Circle: Old and New Quilts and Quilters"
Mennonite and Amish quilts from the collection of Rebecca Haarer set a
historical context for the original designs of master quilters Edith Shanholt,
lifelong resident of Elkhart and LaGrange Counties, and Claire Baker, native of
California. The exhibit demonstrates continuity in the local tradition as well as
influences to and from quilters who come from around the world to quilt circle
gatherings in north central Indiana.
Exhibit reception: Sunday, March 29 from 2-4 p.m. Free and open to the public.
