Special Exhibits
This year, the Crystal Coast Quilters’ Guild is pleased to present two Special Exhibits.  E Pluribus Unum II: Cultures in Cloth, is a remarkable collection of 37 art quilts that reflect the many cultures which comprise our nation, articulating our motto: E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One).  In conjunction with this exhibit, CCQG members will display their own Cultures in Cloth art quilts that resulted from a workshop given by exhibit curator, Ann Flaherty, where we explored and expressed our own cultural histories. 

Black & White Transformed, an exhibit of art quilts created by Artrageous, a group of art quilters in Eastern North Carolina, illustrating members’ efforts to transform black and white fabrics to a variety of colors by using different surface design techniques, will also be on display.

Guild Challenge Quilts
