Local quilter Jan Cunningham, who has won numerous awards for her work, will have some of her pieces exhibited next month in a joint presentation of the East Cobb Quilters’ Guild and the Cobb Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department.
“Life’s Not All Black & White,” a collection of more than 30 of Cunningham’s quilts, will be shown at the Mable House Arts Center from March 2-30.
Her use of color and applique are demonstrated throughout the exhibit, according to a Quilters’ Club release, which states that “Jan is skilled at putting her own mark on traditional quilting patterns and techniques, a practice she encourages in her students, too.”
The Mable House Gallery (5239 Floyd Road SW, Mableton) is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, and there will be a reception with Cunningham on Saturday, March 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Admission to the exhibit and reception are free.
The East Cobb Quilter’s Club, which was formed in 1982, has more than 300 members whose aim is to promote the art of quilting.
The group organizes the Georgia Celebrates Quilt exhibit every two years and contributes quilts, placemats and pillowcases to non-profits.
