When you drill down to the core, quilting is love. We quilt to keep people warm. We cover our loved ones in fabric hugs. We fill our homes with inspiring colors. We share love when we gift a quilt or donate quilts to charity. Travel along with Nancy as she navigates through her history as a quilter. Her mother’s artistic talent took root in Nancy as a love for fabric and quilt design. Her trunk show features examples from throughout her quilting career and illustrates her design skills. Why do you quilt? Supplies are not required for a lecture, although you may want to bring a pen and paper to take notes.
