Fond memories

Creative expression
Art
Friendship
A loving gift
Comfort
A thrifty use for fabrics
Warmth in a cold winter

A quilt is all that, and more.
Whatever the skill level, whatever the income level, whatever the other activities in each maker’s life, every quilt offers clues to what their life looked like. The historic quilts in this exhibit all have connections to Marathon County. They tell stories about their makers, and often are all that remain of these talented, self-sufficient women.
