Teresa talks about the Quilt Festival founder Karey Bresenhan, Quilts, Inc. and Executive Vice-President Nancy O'Bryant, what inspired them, the risks they took and how they expanded. Their company, Quilts, Inc., also founded the International Quilt Market, which is credited with helping build the multi-billion dollar quilt industry.
