2027 Mancuso Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza
Theme: Path Not Taken
AQuA (The Art Quilt Association) presents the Path Not Taken. Life presents us with many paths. Perhaps we took the left fork instead of the right on a nature trail, chose one college degree over another, or made a spontaneous or random choice that created a key milestone. The many detours of life, significant or not, that have shaped us. Reflecting back, we may feel relief, regret or ambiguity about the path not taken. Or perhaps it brings joy and pride. The options bypassed may have been unique or traditional, well-worn, or off the beaten track. Join us as we explore the paths not taken that led us to where we are today.
