Brown Sugar Stitchers Celebrate Black History Month with Exhibit at Fernbank Science Center

The Fernbank Science Center, located at 156 Heaton Park Drive, NE in Atlanta, is alive with color and creativity. The Brown Sugar Stitchers supplied over 22 quilts for a wonderful exhibit at the museum that is part of the museum's celebration of Black History Month. The quilts will remain on display until February 17, 2006.

The exhibit covers all aspects of quiltmaking from traditional to modern. Beautiful examples of hand quilting as well as machine quilting are on display. Some of the quilts are intricately pieced while others showcase exceptional applique. There is also a lovely quilted jacket in exhibit.
