Parallel Lines: Quilts and the American Landscape

Date: September 24, 2025
Time: 10:00 am
Location: Lynn Mecklenburg Textile Gallery, Nancy Nicholas Hall
Description: Parallel Lines: Quilts and the American Landscape explores the parallel processes of quilt-making within the American home and place-making on the American landscape. Featuring nineteenth- and twentieth-century American quilts drawn from the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection, the exhibit will examine some of the most familiar quilt forms – such as nine-patch squares, eight-pointed stars, and “log cabin” blocks with cloth strips radiating outward from a central square “hearth”.
