Quilt making has a long history, dating back to ancient Egypt, medieval Europe, and colonial America. For generations, skilled craftspeople have stitched layers of padding and fabric together to create this humble yet practical textile, initially prized for its utility.
Over time, quilts have evolved beyond their practical uses. Today, they are celebrated for their artistic patterns and ability to convey social messages, commemorate special occasions, and reflect shared community experiences.
This exhibition, featuring 14 artists from the Lions Gate Quilters’ Guild, delves into the multifaceted nature of quilting. It highlights how the process of creating a quilt—through its repetitive and creative elements—serves as a form of meditation. For them, the focus on the artistic process can be as therapeutic as it is beautiful, offering a means to alleviate anxiety and foster mindfulness while celebrating the final artistic piece.
