Celebration 2025 will feature the inductions of two new honorees into The Quilters Hall of Fame, Laurel McKay Horton and Hubert Ver Mehren.
A distinguished quilt scholar, researcher, author, editor, lecturer, consultant, and teacher, Laurel McKay Horton has made significant contributions that have shaped the world of quilting in research, publications, museums, and preservation. Horton’s impressive career includes ten years as editor of “Uncoverings” the American Quilt Study Group’s prestigious annual publication. Her editorial leadership was marked by generosity, expertise, and a commitment to nurturing authors while upholding the highest standards of research and reporting. Her passion for teaching and enthusiasm for the subject have inspired countless individuals, instilling a deeper appreciation for historic quilts.
Hubert Ver Mehren, will be inducted based on his significant impact on the quilt world in the 1930s. Ver Mehren’s quilt patterns are considered some of the most complex and dramatic designs of the day. He marketed his patterns anonymously or under pseudonyms so he is largely unknown and TQHF feels it is time that he is recognized for his influence on twentieth century quiltmakers.
