BURNSVILLE, NC QUILTERS

The Mountain Piecemakers in Burnsville, NC welcomed me so warmly yesterday.....these quilters live in quilt heaven.

This scenic mountain area features the largest collection of quilt blocks in the country.  They are displayed on everything from banks, to barns.


No wonder their members are so inspired!  If you ever get to the Asheville area....be sure to drive about 45 minutes north/east and take a tour.  Follow this link to see the variety of blocks already displayed..... 


You may also enjoy learning more about this unique and rapidly copied idea of paying homage to our quilt history.
