Contemporary Crazy Quilt Collection Comes
to Gallery S.P.A.C.E.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – A vibrant display of handmade quilts created by members of the Georgia Quilt Council, Inc., will be on display at the City of Savannah’s Gallery S.P.A.C.E. Aug. 13 through Sept. 28. The exhibit, “Crazy Quilts for Modern Times”, will showcase a collection of contemporary Crazy Quilts — patchwork quilts of pieces of cloth of various shapes, colors, and sizes, sewn together in an irregular pattern. Works on display will range from traditional intricate handwork to contemporary interpretations, building on the irregular patchwork
and decorative embellishments that emerged with the Crazy Quilt style during the late 1800’s. Complimenting the Crazy Quilts
will be other quilting styles from Savannah collections, including full-sized quilts, clothing, hand- and machine-quilted items and embroidery works.
