Saw some beautiful and inspiring quilts at the Festival of Quilts today! The motorcycle won Best Original Design, and I saw loads of techniques I'm planning to use in future. Also spoke to someone on the Quilts For Care Leavers stand, and am planning to make something for them in future.

Come with us to the American Quilt exhibit, where our summer intern is adding a square to the Bowers Community Quilt - a piece built one visitor at a time. Will you add yours before it closes on August 30?

"A quilt is one of one. It represents someone choosing to do something the long way when a faster, easier option was available. They chose the creative way. The personal way. The heartfelt way." (QuiltFolk Founder Mike McCormick) We need more quilts, books, paintings. Go forth and make beauty!
