Shelly Heesacker, the producer of The Quilt Show, tells Ricky Tims about her vision for Mary Kerr's guest appearance. Mary uses the Drunkard's Path block but puts her own spin on it. You will learn about "Make Do" quilts, "Craklin Mats" and "Southern Quilts".
After some time away, Mary Kerr makes her triumphant return to The Quilt Show this week. She has come to share the rich history and traditions of vintage quilts and so much more. Go behind the scenes of our new show and get a glimpse at how to make Cracklin giftable mementos and what makes and sets Southern quilts apart from others.
Debuting April 21, 2024: On the next Quilt Show, Mary Kerr believes old is where the gold is. Mary loves to give quilters permission to work with vintage textiles and make creative designs that will blow your mind. Wait till you see how she transforms an old drunkard's path block.
Mary Kerr walks through her special exhibit, Twisted: Modern Quilts with a Vintage Twist, at AQS QuiltWeek – Des Moines 2017. See how Mary used pieces of vintage quilts to make new modern quilts and had them quilted by 20 longarm quilters.
