2013 MQA Outstanding Quilters

The Mississippi Quilt Association was founded in 1991 to enhance the art of quilting in Mississippi and established the MS Quilt Legacy Committee in 2005. The purpose is to execute the search and documentation process and record the works of outstanding Mississippi quilters over the age of 65.

MQA accepts nominations for Outstanding Quilters, and these nominees are asked to display two of their quilts at the Mississippi Forestry and Agricultural Museum in Jackson from June through October.
I have two quilts on display during this year's exhibit: "This Is My Story, This Is My Song" and "Finding My Way." The quilts are hung from the ceiling throughout the historical exhibit of items which represent Mississippi's cultural history. It is an honor to have my quilts hanging in this rich historical setting.
