The Texas Quilt Museum is honored to exhibit 19 prizewinning quilts from the 28th Annual, The Best Little Quilt Show in Texas, presented by the Colorado Valley Quilt Guild. This exhibition offers a vibrant celebration of the artistry and imagination of local quilters, whose work reflects the rich traditions, innovation, and creative spirit of our area.
The Colorado Valley Quilt Guild is not only a source of remarkable artistic talent—it is also a vital partner in the life of the Texas Quilt Museum. Many Guild members generously serve as volunteers at TQM, helping as Docents, supporting our programs, and enriching the experience we offer to the public.
We are delighted to share this beloved showcase with you and invite you to enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship on display.
Partial sponsorship for this exhibit is provided by Gene Reynolds & Associates, PLLC.
It’s Never Too Late to Learn (35” x 39”) by Sharon Mooney. In the exhibit Art to Art Challenge.
Art to Art Challenge showcases 29 works by members of The National African American Quilt Guild, whose motto is “Celebration, Education and Service!” Quilting colleagues Rhonda Masters, Laura Casmore, and Sharon Mooney of Texas founded the NAAQG in 2021. The group encourages creativity, promotes and facilitates education in the art of quilting, and celebrates the heritage of African American quilting while serving the community at large.
“We are pleased to share this exhibit with our Texas Quilt Museum audience,” Mangum says. “This exhibit will help celebrate Black Heritage Month at the Museum, an annual celebration in February that honors the achievements of African Americans throughout U. S. history.” Partial sponsorship for this exhibit is provided by Frank Klein and The Lucille Gaebler Klein Fund.
Mango Floss: Theme—Island Vacation (42” x 44”) by Denise Burkitt. In the exhibit The Traveling Artist: Works by Denise Burkitt.
And finally, The Traveling Artist: Works of Denise Burkitt presents 20 pieces by the noted Australian quilter/designer whose work has indeed taken her all over the world.
“When Denise Burkitt travels, she is open to being amazed!” Mangum says.
“Her exhibit reflects her creative experience on the journey—the feelings and mood of a place as well as her sensory connection to the surroundings. The inspiration of colors, textures, shapes and line intuitively energizes and sparks a passion to paint directly onto fabric via mark-making with various tools.” The quilts were made using several of Burkitt’s own designed fabrics. Be sure to check out her use of color and line!
