My Quilt is Finished. Now what?

It was my great pleasure to welcome the audience to Nancy Franklin’s lecture My Quilt is Finished. Now What? at the Atlanta Quilt Festival. Nancy spoke to a capacity crowd about documenting, caring for and placing a value your quilt in the beautiful Southwest Arts Center Gallery with stunning John Lewis quilts as a backdrop.

Nancy shares a quilt created in a class taught by Quilt Artist Bisa Butler at the Atlanta Quilt Festival in 2014.

The lecture was part of the inaugural season of the Marva Swanson Lecture series. Everyone learned a lot about taking care of vintage quilts. Attendees left with a renewed commitment to always label their quilts and to take great care of them so that when appraised, they fetch the best price.

A reception followed the lecture during which old friends re-connected and new friends were made.
