I am not an expert on quilt repair but when an heirloom quilt top appeared in my life, I took the opportunity to lend my piecing skills and collaborate with a quilty friend to create a beautiful work of art out of grandmothers Lone Star quilt top.

The process of creating a large original quilt is an invitation to delve into the depths of imagination and creativity, to push the boundaries of skill and technique, and to leave a lasting legacy through a timeless work of art.

As far back as the 15th century, sea shells found around the Mediterranean Sea were harvested to produce the Tyrian purple dye with biblical references to the kings, priest, and noblemen who donned this color in their royal vestiges.

Acid-free permanent markers are great for hand written quilt labels and are important for you as the maker and for the eventual recipient of the quilt.
