Monthly Display
April Quilt of the Month:
Michelle Chambers brought us the “Queen of the Heart” to display. The deep red contrast perfectly with the black and white, making it an eye catcher.
Author Jennifer Chiaverini, author of the Elm Creek Quilting series said, “Anyone who works on a quilt, who devotes her time, energy, creativity, and passion to that art, learns to value the work of her hands."
March Quilt of the month:
Warmer weather and blooming daffodils signal that spring is just around the corner. Another clue is the brightly colored quilt Kay Calamusa shared with the museum. This Stack and Whack piece of art was pieced and quilted by Kay. She said, is “made by stacking layers of the same fabric together and cutting them into triangles."
