See the beautiful quilts on display at the Double Take exhibit building. Quilting is not just a craft; it's an art form that weaves together creativity, skill, and tradition into a beautiful tapestry of fabric. At its core, quilting involves stitching layers of fabric together to create a cozy and often intricate textile. But beyond its practical purpose, quilting is a means of storytelling, a form of self-expression, and a way to connect with generations past.

One of the most remarkable aspects of quilting is its versatility. Quilts can range from simple and utilitarian to elaborate and ornate, depending on the skill and vision of the quilter.

But regardless of style or technique, all quilts share a common thread: they are imbued with the love, care, and creativity of their makers. Each quilt tells a story, whether it's a family heirloom passed down through generations, a commemoration of a special occasion, or a reflection of the quilter's personality and experiences.
