Small Quilt Exhibit

 A few months ago, the Quilters Hall of Fame contacted  me to ask if I would send them some of my quilts for an upcoming exhibit on small quilts! The museum is located in Marion, Indiana. 

Little Beauties: The Art of Miniature Quilts opens on  February 22 and continues through May 7. Check out the Hall of Fame website for more info. Click on Exhibits for hours and details.


I'm so excited! I have to say, it was difficult to choose which quilts to send them. 










Even though it's a small quilt exhibit, there's one space in the gallery with the rest of my quilts for a larger one so they'll also display my Aunt Addie's Mystery quilt from 2019. It was made with small blocks and they said that it would fit in perfectly with the theme. Plus, it's really become another one of my all-time favorite quilts.




Time for a road trip to Indiana this spring?? I may stop by the museum sometime in April to teach a class or give a demo. And maybe bring my Schoolgirl Sampler quilt for Show & Tell. Of course, this will all depend upon the Covid situation in April.  I'll keep you posted.

  11. Kathy, I’m new to the world of all things quilted. Started in 2018, and now totally hooked. Your style is warm and welcoming, and your designs are i aspirational for me. Thank you. 😊

    I enrolled in a BOM through Homestead Hearth and have just now started the Schoolgirl sampler quilt. I have a few questions … where can I direct my questions regarding a bit of confusion on my part about the blocks.

    Thank You,
    Catherine

  12. The show opened this morning, and it is awesome!!!!!!!

    When I entered the museum, i asked the volunteer why anyone would make a small quilt. You only have so many dolls and so much wall space. But now I understand. It's all about the variety and creativity.

    I wasn't familiar with Kathleen's work, and I am now a fan. I loved her Schoolgirl Sampler. I love the idea of a panel sampler, one block 6 times in different color ways. My mind is racing with ideas.

    Thank you for sharing your work!

  13. Nada - Sorry to tell you but that is not my Schoolgirl Sampler quilt LOL. I did not send that one to the museum. This was a Mystery quilt project from 2019. Of course it does use some of the sampler blocks.
