Molas: Animals and Applique (Last Day)

Molas are a textile art form created by the Guna Indians of Panama. Guna tribeswomen living in Columbia and Panama use mola applique, a form of reverse applique incorporating three or more layers of fabric where each color used requires a layer of fabric. The appliques use multi-colored and multi-shaped designs. Traditional molas are found in museums and private collections and are still used as garments.

Into the Wild - Creature Quilts (Last Day)

Quilt artists take inspiration from everything in the world around them, including living creatures. This exhibit will show a wide range of fiber art created between 1988 and 2017 that celebrates quilted creatures. Some of these quilters have chosen an animal to be the grand focal point of their art, while others take a more fantastical approach. From very traditional styles, to very modern styles, and all those in between this exhibition curated by The National Quilt Museum is a wonderful example of the vibrant art of quilt making.
