On today’s episode we will share about our recent trip to the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY.  Now through March 9, 2021 they are featuring an exhibit on "Southern Quilts". The American South has a rich quilting history steeped in tradition and passed down through the generations.    We also spoke with American quilt Society certified appraiser, author, curator, and award-winning quilter Mary Kerr.
