“Ive never gotten a ribbon before. I am super excited about it,” said Fucella. “My mother in law had the book and I saw here quilt and I just loved it. I knew at that point I wanted to make one for my daughter. Her name is Jessica.”<\/p>\n

“I like that Rivers and Spires puts on the Quilts of the Cumberland show. It’s really a good way to showcase all of the talented people we actually have in the area,” stated Fucella.<\/p>\n

[320left]Quilts of the Cumberland is always striving to increase their number of quilts each year to make a better, bigger show. They welcome the community to enter or come by for a visit.<\/p>\n

“We want to share the love of quilting,” stated Wanda Morrison. “Most quilters like to share what they do and tell about their techniques. I think it’s a fun way to express art in the form of fabric and thread.”<\/p>\n
