A Collaborative Art Project
49 women created this beautiful quilt! Remarkably, most of the women had very little experience as quilters. Bettina Reeves and Lisa Hellier are beautiful textile artists. Thus, they supervised the creation of this quilt.
Remarkably, it was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Arts Alive.
