Dear Friends,
Across the region folks appreciate quilts and crafts as being essential to the identity and unique character of our communities. We promote historic quilts and craftsmanship because to do so is essential to our
cultural and social sustainability. Quilting and hand-crafted goods are key in Southern livability and quality of life, minimizing the need to purchase imported products and yielding economic vitality across our state.
In an increasingly fast-paced and anonymous form of retail shopping, the individual character of each quilt is a precious identity for any home. I find that this unique character can provide education and inspiration for art lovers of all ages. Enjoy this special issue for the richness of the quilts that are contemporary yet hold
secrets centuries old.
