The Conner Museum has welcomed its first exhibit of the semester, Celebration of Quilts 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection created by the members of Kingsville Saturday Quilters features many interesting patterns and color combinations. Quilts of valor and quilts of honor are also featured in the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCelebration of the Quilts will be on display from now until March 18,\u201d student worker David Juarez said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exhibit has already drawn some attention from the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s such a colorful experience, and so cool getting to see all of the hard
work that these artists have put into the quilts,\u201d Business major Araceli Mireles said, \u201cThere is this one big quilt in the back of the room that is so mesmerizing it has so many patterns to look at and you keep seeing more and more every time you look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other visitors had their favorites as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe beach and the Japanese lantern ones are my favorites, they have so much detail. There is also another really big quilt and the more you look at it the more you see,\u201d Psychology student Annalisa Perales said. \u201cI think when everyone comes to see it they might find that they are interested in quilting and will want to try something new.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kingsville Saturday Quilters will also be hosting the Airing of the Quilts later this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would for sure like to go to the event they are having later this semester,\u201d Mireles said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can come by the Conner Museum to experience the eye catching
collection. You can also find more information about the Quilting group\u2019s
monthly meetings and any other events that they will be hosting later
this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
