During Quilt Week, Mary Fons takes a moment to "fan girl" over finally getting to see "Corona II: Solar Eclipse" by Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry in person! Mary visitied the museum with Quiltfolk magazine to learn more about our youth education programs. Her mother, Maryanne Fons, has a quilt in the museum's collection.
Mary Fons is a writer, quilter, editor and lecturer with experience creating original content across a variety of media.

Forty artists have been selected for the SAQA Global Exhibition Primal Forces: Earth by juror Sue Cavanaugh. This exhibition is the first in a three-part series to premiere at The National Quilt Museum over a six-year period.
This exhibition illustrates that all life on this planet depends on earth: it nurtures us through the soil beneath our feet. However, it can be a destructive force as well. Seismic activity and mudslides have shaped the landscape for millions of years and taken a toll on living beings as well. We are in an era of tremendous change in earth as well, due to shifting balances brought on by human activity.

She appropriates the remains of quilts and paints into them, interacting with their form, pattern, and surface.
