The artists of the Manhattan Quilters Guild present new work that celebrates a return to pre-Covid life. The guild created this project to celebrate rebounding from the restrictions that limited personal contact and renewing activities which were not possible during the pandemic. Each of the Manhattan Quilters Guild artists participating in this exhibition created a new quilt designed to be defined by a title beginning with “re.”

The Manhattan Quilters Guild is a diverse group of New York City-area quilters dedicated to promoting the art of quiltmaking and furthering professionalism in the field. The guild began in 1980 as a small gathering of strangers who responded to an ad in Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine. Over time, it has become a professional organization of international artists who exhibit individually and together. They are designers, gallerists, curators, teachers, writers, bloggers, mentors, and entrepreneurs. Their work, rooted in a traditional craft, has evolved into fiber art forms that often go beyond quilts.
