Now that the winter cold seems to have loosened its grip and the weather is warming up, it might be a good time to venture out for a day of quilt show viewing. The Bead Lounge is once again hosting a show with quilts from, Barbara Yates Beasley and Cynthia Ann Morgan, through March 6. Down the street at the Quilter’s Studio they have an ever-changing display of quilts from local artists. Across Main Street at the Sun Rose Café is an exhibit of quilts from the Quilter’s Studio Art quilt group that Cynthia teaches. That show will hang through April 2. Proceed around the corner to 4th and Coffman and you will find Pass it On hanging through February 18 at The Old Firehouse. Hopefully you still have time and energy to drive South on Main to the Longmont Museum to visit the America Celebrates! quilt exhibit through March 13.
What has made Longmont the haven for quilts during February? I do not know, but this is a great chance to see the wide range of styles, techniques, and inspiration that make up an art quilt
Enjoy the convergence.
