Lancaster has a rich history and relationship with shape, color, and patterning thanks to it’s roots in early American and Dutch quilt making. This is a heritage that central Pennsylvania continues today with a great sense of pride. With many still making quilts and textiles by hand it’s easy to find a connecting thread that leads to Lancaster’s artist community.
