Lancaster Pennsylvania, 1.18.12: For the very first time since
this collection made its public debut in 1990 at the Fine Arts
Museum of San Francisco, visitors will experience ALL 82
historic masterworks of American quilt making selected from
the world renowned Esprit Collection of Amish quilts. These
superb works, acknowledged masterpieces of design and
needlework, were made between 1870 and 1950 by the
Amish women in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The exhibition will be presented in the Beaux-Arts inspired LANCASTER QUILT & TEXTILE MUSEUM, 37 North Market Street  Lancaster PA, for one week only—March 13-18, 2012.

A preview reception of this weeklong exhibit will be held Tuesday, March 13, beginning at 5pm. The historic evening
promises a fabulous reception with hors d´oeuvres and signature drinks in the lobby followed by guided tours of the
exhibition. Limited seating is also available for an exclusive evening dinner with original Esprit curator, Julie Silber, one
of the world’s most respected quilt experts. Dinner begins at 7:30pm.Public exhibit admission and curatorial tours will be available at the museum Wednesday through Sunday March 14-18, during the week that American Quilter’s Society hosts its

annual show at the Lancaster County Convention Center—just one block away. LANCASTER QUILT & TEXTILE MUSEUM exhibit hours will be 9am to 7pm Wednesday through Saturday, and Noon to 5pm on Sunday. An eclectic array of live music will
highlight the museum’s exhibit experience during evenings and Sunday afternoon. Thursday evening admission also includes a reception with Lancaster County’s Bed & Breakfast community.
