The brothers David and Peter Mancuso have been orchestrating Quilt Shows for more than 24 years. The shows are held in most corners of the United States. Their company Mancuso Show Management is based in the quaint and charming town of New Hope, Pennsylvania on the shores of the Delaware River. They have been major players in promoting and getting the "Quilting" word out there.
Their Quiltfests are filled with Quilts, Supplies and Workshops taught by some of the most talented folks in the Quilting industry. Now is the time to look at your schedules and get yourself to one of these magical events. When you come home, inspired and filled with new and fresh ideas, log onto Mary Jo's Cloth.
