Quilts with Words!
Quilters have been writing on quilts since quilting began. From signatures of friends and family, to humor, to preserving history, to social memes. Often called "message quilts" we love to see them and to create our own historical record
from the quilter's view.
Here are a FEW of the quilts with words in our past shows.
