Quilt show celebrates heritage, today’s craftsmanship (Dothan Eagle)- About: quilting patterns

Adele Kuszmaul and Sherry Burkhalter (from left) look over a quilt that Kuszmaul made from scraps of fabric that were given to her from three seperate decades. Serious quilters or those who just appreciate the craftsmanship will be able to see quilts on display during a show held Friday through Sunday and in conjunction with Landmark Park’s Wiregrass Heritage Festival. The quilt show will feature quilting and sewing vendors, demonstrations, quilting appraisals by appointment and lectures. Burkhalter, who teaches weekly quilting classes at Hancock Fabrics in Dothan, said quilting is an art people of all ages still show an interest in learning. It’s a different world for quilting today compared to the time when quilts were made simply to keep people warm.
