And the inductee is...Mimi Dietrich, founder of the Baltimore Appliqué Society. Her first quilt book, Happy Endings, has sold nearly 250,000 copies.  Since then she has written fifteen more books. On July 16–18, 2015, the Quilter's Hall of Fame in Marion, Indiana, will honor Mimi’s many accomplishments with a weekend of quiltmaking fun.

Here’s what Mimi has to say about her induction into the Quilter's Hall of Fame:

I am thrilled and honored to be the next inductee into the Quilter's Hall of Fame. The best part is that for almost 40 years I have been doing something that I love…quilting! I am truly proud of the books I have written with Martingale, and I have loved traveling around our wonderful country and meeting quilters in my classes. For most of my students it all starts with one little hand-appliqué stitch and grows into a fabulous quilt! If you’ve enjoyed my books or taken a class with me, come join me at the Quilter's Hall of Fame in Marion, Indiana…it’s going to be the trip of a lifetime!
