DESCRIPTION

The Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts presents FLORIDA IN FABRIC an exhibit showcasing quilted visions of the Florida experience—a hand-stitched “postcard” from the Sunshine State focusing on the state's diverse images of tropical beaches, exotic wildlife and historic exploration. From the Fountain of Youth to the Space Shuttle, sunken treasure or Suwannee River, Florida inspires dreams of renewal and refuge. Explore the state of mind that is Florida and send us your inspiration.

FLORIDA IN FABRIC aims to promote an appreciation of quilt making as an art form and to provide Florida quilters with an opportunity to display their quilts in the premier textile arts center of the state. The Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts is located at 150 University Blvd. in Melbourne, Florida.
