Quilts from the Collection: Georgia Bonesteel and a Walk Down “The Street Where Quilters Live”

Do you ever wonder what your favorite quilter’s house would look like? Are the rooms in Tula Pink’s home the same colors as her fabrics? Does Jenny Doan have a hobby-other than quilting- that is reflected in her house? TQHF Honoree Georgia Bonesteel asked these same questions about the quilters of her day and created a quilted answer in The Street Where Quilters Live. Join us as we explore this three-panel textile exploration of eighteen noted quilters, learn about their lives and their quilting, and see how their style is represented in the quilted “homes.”

This exploration will be presented by The Quilters Hall of Fame Collection Committee. The blocks in this quilt were made by twenty-one noted quilters, Bets Ramsey, Jean Ray Laury, Yvonne Porcella and more. The quilt The Street Where Quilters Live was assembled by Georgia Bonesteel and was donated to the TQHF permanent collection.
