Antique fiber arts - a stitch above the rest. Quilt & Textile Collections (QTC) manages the Poos Collection, one of the largest privately held quilt and textile collections in the world. QTC provides access to the Poos Collection through trunk shows featuring the antique quilts or workshops teaching historic techniques. QTC also provides museum quality exhibitions for quilt shows, festivals, or conventions. Learn more about the Poos Collection from interesting books divided into categories: Indigo Quilts, Chintz Quilts, Red and Green Quilts, Pioneer Quilts or Hidden Treasures. Don’t forget to select from the reproduction fabric or center medallions to make your own legacy quilt. QTC also teaches antique methods to create hand dyed or hand painted fabric, as well as paper piecing techniques. QTC is happy to assist you as you make quilts, attend or launch quilts shows, or grow your own quilt and textile collection.
I'm literally speechless. I'm overcome. There are no words. This exhibit is pure joy for me. What a privilege it was to have this chance to see these works of art. Congratulations to the makers and to Cynthia, one of the makers, who also curated the display. and Thank you.
The quilts are currently at IQM, but they have their exhibition schedule set for the foreseeable future. It is up to them when they use them in an exhibition.
I promised a link to get the book on sale and it is below. Please note that I will refund the difference to give you the sale price. www.quiltandtextilecollections.com/shop/books
We want to get this right, so thanks to Cynthia Collier for providing a correction! The quilt at the 14:35 mark is actually, "Antique Sampler" by Marian Woods. The complete title card can be found at the end of the video The last quilt in the presentation is "Big Sister" by Suzanne Louth and Quilted by Karen Kielmeyer. The title card for this quilt can be found at 15:09. We are so sorry that the two title cards got misplaced!
Please note that the title cards used at the Houston Quilt Festival with the name Suzanne Louth are misleading. Suzanne is the creator of the quilts and the name that follows is the quilter.
