Laverne Mathews: When an Art Teacher Loves Traditional Quilts

At Houston 2016, they featured the work of the late Laverne Mathews. Laverne's quilt, Reminiscence, is a Traditional quilt with an art teacher's touch. This former art teacher brought her sense and abilities to her love of Traditional quilts and made you look at the color choices, the piecing, the borders and edges, and the hand quilting. This quilt was one of our favorites created by Laverne.

I was privileged to have this special lady as a friend and mentor for more than 30 years. She was always eager to encourage, and share her talent.

So great to see such a beautifully made quilt and the wonderful legacy she and so many other great Quilters have left behind for us to emulate.

Laverne was a dear friend who was so happy to share her talents and creative ideas. She was an inspiration to all of us!

Wow! How long did it take her to make it? I am sure that the picture doesn't do it justice.

Beautiful quilt. I love the corners, and the way they frame the borders adds an extra bit of flair to the quilt.
(Do they remind anyone else of the little triangle corners we used to use for putting pictures in albums many, many years ago?
