Kentucky will host the World Equestrian Games in 2010, the first time the games have been held outside of Europe. In keeping with this event the National Quilt Museum is holding a juried exhibit of quilts about and/or depicting horses in early fall of 2010. Special guest artist for this exhibit will be Shirley P. Kelly of Colden, NY.
Combining collage, fine appliqué, and fine quilting, broderie perse- also known as cut-out chintz appliqué- presents a high point in the art of quiltmaking and deserves the admiration and attention of all who appreciate fine needlework. Curated by Anita Loscalzo.
