A most exciting addition to the show is the display of the California State Sesquicentennial Heritage Quilt reflecting California's 58 counties through picture images on this incredible work of art. Over a span of 15 months, a pictorial masterpiece was created by 67 applique artists and more than 200 quilters in Northern California, quilting for 2,000 hours. The youngest quilter to work on the project is ten years old. The Heritage quilt will be on display at the Petaluma Historical Museum and Library on August 12th and 13th. Petaluma is one of the quilt's last stops on its tour throughout the state.
Quilts are a celebration of the personal lives and emotions of the quilter.
