Lillian's work will be featured as a part of our February opening show.  Join us on Sunday, February 3, between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. for the official opening.

Additionally, Lillian will offer a lecture titled, "The History of Quilting in America," on February 3, between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.  The lecture is free, but you are encouraged to call us at 479-474-7767 or email us at info@art-ed.org to reserve your seat.

Lillian believes that art is important in our everyday lives.  she loves music and painting but finds the beauty in practical creations too.  Quilts are both unitarian and beautiful... they are meant to be seen but also felt.  They are beauty that comforts our souls and our bodies.  Lillian states that, "working with my hands to make something beautiful is a joy."
