Quilts from our Collections April 2023 - January 2024 Quilts are not just a way to keep warm and to decorate a room, quilts often tell stories, and often it becomes a good mystery. Who made them, the fabric that was used, and who it might have been made for are all part of the story. Whatever the story, quilts are an amazing piece of art; they are beautiful and a testament to the handwork and skill of the quilter.
