2024 Mancuso Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza

Light in the Darkness

Light in the darkness…is it first light, candlelight, a super blue moon light? Does light in darkness give you joy, hope and promise? Does it erase the calm stillness of night or the fear of what we cannot see or imagine in the dark?  What happens when there is light in the darkness?  Members of The Art Quilt Association (AQuA) explore this fundamental dichotomy of our daily passage thru night and day as we circle the sun.
