"To further the visitor's exploration of quilting and textile arts in a contemporary context, the Michener is augmenting the exhibition with a number of mixed-media quilted pieces by the contemporary Philadelphia artist Virgil Marti, who frequently integrates textiles into his work.

"A book, Heritage Quilts, will be available for purchase and will include stunning photographs and detailed descriptions of the quilts on display, together with patterns and instructions for each of Kaffe's quilts. Kaffe will also be lecturing and hosting a series of hands-on workshops. On loan from The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles/ Kaffe Fassett Studios."
