Through
its new collaboration with the Lancaster Quilt & Textile
Museum, Marcus furthers its ongoing commitment to the
preservation of the quilting arts past, present and future. The
first collection of this new partnership, QUAKER
QUILTS, features red prints, often sparked with yellow, tan
or black. Like Marcus' other museum collections, Quaker Quilts
is designed by Judie Rothermel.
The museum is located in historic downtown Lancaster, PA, as
part of the Heritage Center of Lancaster County, which also
operates the Heritage Center Museum which collects, preserves,
and interprets Lancaster County's history and decorative arts
through its permanent collection, exhibitions, and educational
programs.
In 2002, The Heritage Center acquired the Esprit Collection
of Lancaster County Amish Quilts. These quilts will form the
core of the permanent exhibition at the Lancaster Quilt &
Textile Museum. Visit www.quiltandtextilemuseum.com. |
