Breaking Traditions is an art quilt exhibit that hangs at the American Sewing Expo every year.  This exhibit is curated each fall by Lynn Krawczyk.  Breaking Traditions has become a community effort, helping to support the fund raising projects of fellow fiber/mixed media artists. This years exhibit at the American Sewing Expo focuses on a quilt exhibit called “Home” .

The 2009 exhibit will benefit Bernie Berlin’s dog rescue  A Place to Bark.   In honor of Mr. Berlin’s efforts to find permenant homes for displaced dogs, “Home” seems to be appropriate.  The American Sewing Expo is to be held at The Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Michigan Sept. 25 – Sept. 27, 2009.

The exhibit features 12″x12″ art quilts. Participants for the 2009 show will express those things, memories or emotions that define home to them. This is an open call exhibit, everyone is encourage to participate. Prizes are donated for those in the exhibit and an Exhibit Favorite is chosen.
