A proud partner with 16 other DFW cultural institutions, “No Hand Idle” is a part of Quilt Mania II. Throughout the spring, special events and programming will center on the season's theme. Amongst the 1840 to 1910 historic homes and commercial buildings are 25 quilts from Dallas Heritage Village’s collection representing the progression of the art form as influenced by the evolving city we know today as Dallas. Included in the exhibit are patchwork quilts created by Dallas’ pioneer women to the more luxurious quilts of the Victorian era. Other forms of domestic arts from the 19th century will be on display as well.
