A wide variety of works of art made of fabric can be seen at the exhibition.

Rethinking traditional craftsmanship

Strong colours, clear lines and geometric patterns – 38 artists have lovingly handcrafted 41 diverse quilts, which will be on display for the first time in Meersburg from 29 September. The exhibits are traditionally made, but differ in design from traditional patterns: the result are individual works of art created from fabric, reminiscent of abstract paintings from the modern era. They give an insight into the contemporary quilt art of North America and New Zealand.

Each quilt is unique

Unique exhibition in southern Germany

The curator of the exhibition is Nancy Crow, an icon of the American quilting scene. In a process that lasted almost four years, she not only selected all the exhibits, but also contributed to the exhibition with her own work. Until December 29, these special quilts will be shown at Meersburg New Palace. After that, the exhibition leaves not only Germany, but also Europe. The next stops are Canada and the USA.

The traditional craft keeps on developing.

An icon in her field

In North America, the centuries-old technique of quilting has a long tradition. Nancy Crow herself also contributes to the preservation of this heritage. Her style became an inspiration for many quilters. For more than 30 years she has been teaching this versatile art and organizes workshops and exhibitions in America and Europe – and now also in Meersburg.
