Featured Quilt - Second Place Pictorial-Small at Houston 2024
Bremen Town Musicians by Kestrel Michaud won Second Place - Pictorial-Small (Sponsored by AllBrands.com) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024. Always one to know how to set the scene in her quilt, this time Kestrel's quilt was inspired by one of her favorite childhood stories. She says, “This is my artistic take on the Grimm Fairytales story, 'Town Musicians of Bremen.' This fairytale was my favorite as a kid. I loved how the animals won and scared the thieves away from the house. Animals are real-life underdogs, but in this story, they definitely came out on top.”

You Find The Most Amazing Things Where You Least Expect Them
You never know where things are going to turn up. One day you put a box in the attic, then it gets moved to the basement, then to a friend's house and so on. That's kind of what happened in Clay County, Minnesota, where a quilt donated to the Ulen Museum turned out to be one of America's oldest quilts, older than the country itself. Find out more about this amazing discovery of American History.
