I was fortunate and honored to be invited to a special tribute for Ardis James at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum while I was back at Accuquilt. I was thrilled to see the work of our current artist, Susan Shie as the invitation.
This museum in Lincoln, Nebraska needs to be on every quilter's bucket list. Amazing. I was surprised at who was included on the quilt. Can you see why?
