Brian and Donna have participated in many local and regional quilt documentation projects and spend much of their free time studying and researching antique textiles. Additionally, Donna is an active member of an Antique Quilt Study Group. The goal of the group is to study antique quilts and textiles to further the knowledge and understanding of all aspects of historical quilt making. "
Thank you.....I try her website.
