Exhibit Overview
The Long Beach Modern Quilt Guild (LBMQG) presents its 2025 fiber art collection, Perspectives, at the Zena and Pauline Gatov Gallery at the Alpert JCC.
The exhibition features vibrant quilts by LBMQG members, including miniature quilts from Transition in Threads. Our special exhibition, Threads of Transition, explores each artist’s interpretation of change through modern mini quilts.
Each quilt is handmade, reflecting pattern, color, texture, and thousands of stitches. Many members have exhibited at national and international quilt shows such as Road to California and QuiltCon.
