QUILT EXHIBIT
We invite fellow quilt enthusiasts and the public to view the intricate stitches that make up the Annual Quilt Exhibit by the Brushy Mountain Quilters Guild. This exhibit originated in 1983 when founder Eileen Lackey Sharpe presented a
collection of heirloom quilts as the first exhibit to be housed in the gallery of the newly renovated Lucas Mansion.
The quilt exhibit will be on display until November 27 at The Lucas Mansion on the 2nd Floor.
