Featured Quilt - Where The Unicorns Run Free
This delightful quilt by Maebel Heyd in the Youth Quilts category at QuiltCon 2023 will make you want to visit Unicorn Land. Maebel says of her quilt, "I love unicorns because they have magic in their horns. My favorite colors are gold, blue and rainbows. I created sunshine, clouds and raindrops so the rainbow could grow. I picked out glitter fabric because I love
anything that sparkles. I designed this quilt, drew my own pictures on the fabric, cut it out, and put it on the fabric. I sewed the hair and rainbow colors together on my mom's sewing machine. My mom told me what to do, helped me iron and trim the quilt.

How Quilters' Save Our Stories (QSOS) Came To Be
From Amy Milne, Executive Director of the Quilt Alliance: "In this issue we are honored to present a guest essay from Karen S. Musgrave, a past volunteer and QA board member, who played a pivotal role in the development of the QSOS oral history project. Karen is an interdisciplinary, multihyphenate artist whose recent body of work deals with loss, memory, and identity. She feels passionately about connecting cultures with quilts. Karen's memories from her work with QSOS paints a vivid picture of what volunteer work can offer an artist, especially giving back to and gaining from a passion project."
