The Alliance for American Quilts has announced a major milestone by posting a private collection on their Quilt Index for the first time. About 80 quilts made by Hungarian immigrant Mary Gasperik. This collection provides a rare chance to observe one quiltmaker's near-total output as she advanced from a novice quilter to a prizewinning quilt designer.
The entire collection can be viewed here.
Laurel Wreath circa 1935
Hand appliqued, embroidered and hand quilted
On a personal note......we've just experience our 10th snow.......really a blizzard. Okay, UNCLE.....we are heading back to WI, where at least folks know how to handle winter!! Literally, towns close up here when it snows.....restaurants and all! Amazing.....
Don't go Mary! We love you here in the South. Give it a few days and you'll be in the 50's...will WI ever be in the 50's in March? Nope!
