We are all so lucky here at Mountain Stitches to meet visitors from all over the country and world. I know there are some of these friends who are still experiencing wonderful winter snow. Spring is just around the corner here in Tennessee but here’s a photo of Susan’s latest Snowball quilt made from some Civil War reproduction fabrics.

This is a rare and fun opportunity to interact with works of art from a premier collection that has been shown in major art museums throughout the United States, including the Knoxville Museum of Art, and the subject of three books. ReVision is an invitation that comes with a challenge – a challenge to begin looking at everyday objects with “new eyes” and may also challenge your ideas of quilt design, color, construction and your concept of art.
