Goals

My goal for this event is to bring the art form of quilting from the homes of quilters and private collections to the Erie community.

I am aiming to teach and inform people of the history of quilting. Quilting is viewed and used many different ways, from decorative to practical. Many people never get to see how diverse the art form is because it is displayed privately or not at all. I hope to show the Erie community the many different styles, uses, and knowledge that it takes to complete a quilt.

I hope to reach people that are outside of the tight-knit quilting community. This exhibit will allow non-quilters, specifically, people that are interested in art and culture, to enter the quilting community. The event will demonstrate to them that they do not have to physically quilt to be a part of the quilting world, they can participate in and appreciate the art form by observing.
