MISSISSIPPI CULTURAL CROSSROADS
Traveling exhibits
The fourth exhibit highlights the creativity of children. Under the tutelage of master quilters, children of Claiborne County, Mississippi, participated in the quilt-making process using their own conceptions to create charming and colorful quilt tops, which were quilted by the adults. Techniques include piecing, appliqué, embroidery, batik, fabric and finger painting.
Labels and text panels are included. The quilts are ready to hang on rods provided. Hanging brackets are the responsibility of the exhibitor. The poles are numbered to match the appropriate quilt. Identification cards are packed with each quilt; please return quilt to correct bag for shipping.
Note: Please report any damage to quilts or text labels immediately: 601-437-8905 or write Mississippi Cultural Crossroads, 507 Market St. Part Gibson, MS 39150.
