Berea, Ky













I am really behind on posting stuff from my life! For my mom's birthday, I went to a quilt extravaganze in Berea, Ky., with her and my Aunt Sue. We had a really, really great time and it was such a wonderful little town with so many interesting and talented artists. We met one of the potters at Tater Knob Pottery and we also got to look at all of the quilts that were on display. It was especially exciting for me because I got to meet bell hooks, and have her sign a book. She displayed and spoke about her grandmother's quilts and the way that quilting brings women together and offers them an outlet for freedom of expression. The entire trip gave me an even greater appreciation for the amazing quilts my mom has produced this year.
