One of the most exciting things that has happened to me as a quilter was to have an original design quilt selected to be part of the American Textile History Museum’s exhibit of quilts called “From the Mills”.

This is the quilt:

 

The challenge was to use nine fabrics from the collection in the quilt.  I used a combination of applique in the center and piecing around the perimeter of this medallion-style quilt.  To see more of the entire collection chosen for the show follow this link: http://athm.org/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/fromthemills3.php

This quilt is hanging in my studio and I get to enjoy it every day!  Many of my clients have heard the story behind this quilt.
