the fabric you buy, from her hand-drawn and hand painted artwork to
completed fabric by MODA. Using artwork from actual fabric, quilters
will be guided through her journey. The program will end with a parade of
20-30 quilts (walkers needed) made with her fabrics.

APRIL 5-6, 2024 – Quilt Registry

It’s an encore in conjunction with the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society. We’re planning
another QUILT REGISTRY (you know, the event where we document antique (i.e. before 1980) quilts and
store the info and photos in an archive at Western Kentucky University). We’re expanding the event to two days because we already have a waiting list of 15 from last year. It will again be at the South Central Regional Library in Okolona and will run from 10-4 each day.
Please mark your calendars. Hope you will volunteer to work and get to see some fascinating vintage quilts. Or plan to bring a quilt or two (maximum) of your own fascinating vintage quilts to be documented (not appraised) and stored for posterity.

We would be happy to put your name on the waiting list if you’re interested in bringing a quilt(s).
