About the Finally Finished by Teresa Duryea Wong Exhibit (Sponsored by Taylor Seville Originals): "Eleven gorgeous antique quilt tops were lovingly quilted by Teresa Duryea Wong on a modern longarm quilting machine with hand-guided techniques and no computers. The story of each maker is lost to time, but her quilt is now finally finished. These objects span decades - even a century - and Wong has created a 21st-century narrative for each quilt by naming it in honor of her ancestors and family."
