*Straight Furrow Log Cabin* by Catherine Hegy Schreiner, begun in 1900 and finished by her grandson, Arnold Savage, in 1988. A wonderful collection of scraps from the 1880s and 1890s; Shaker Grays, Claret Reds and commemorative prints from the turn of the century. This quilt is in the Education Collection of The Quilters Hall of Fame. See more photos and information on our collections website link below.

Even in 2020 there is much for which to be thankful! We are thankful for the art of quilting and all of the folks who have contributed to the world of quilting over the years!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Solid colors create a “WOW” factor and strong graphics to inspire artists and quilters. Solid colors simplify design and clarify pattern and needlework. They draw attention to regional and international styles and to changing tastes. In 200 years colors have changed, but solid color quilts have always been with us. They define the earliest whole-cloth quilts, classic 19th century appliqué quilts, work by 20th century quilt designers, political quilts, and today’s Modern Quilt movement. Please come and be inspired by solid colors at The Quilters Hall of Fame, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM – 4 PM.
