So many of our quilts start with family — and in Tennessee, if you’re a quilter, you are family. You’ll see this firsthand when you dive into the seventh Quiltfolk Pattern, where Minnie Lee Deakins (who just celebrated her 75th wedding anniversary) meets and talks quilts with superstar designer (and mother of seven) Anna Maria Horner.
A quilt made by Deakins decades ago provided the inspiration for Horner’s vibrant Oh My Stars quilt. When Horner was about to do her show and tell, she was nervous her new friend wouldn’t like it. She needn’t have worried: Deakins loved it, and we think you will, too.
We’re proud to bring you the latest installment of Quiltfolk Patterns. When you’re with Quiltfolk, you’re family, too.
