I have an art quilt that is truly a masterpiece. My Aunt (who is 85 now) embroidered what she named a "President's Quilt". Not having any pattern, she went to the public library and xeroxed copies of photographs of all the Presidents of the United States from George Washington through Clinton. She then "drew" them onto quilt blocks, even embroidering their glasses with gold metallic embroidery thread. The quilt is all done in black and white. She made two of these quilts and my cousin (who has the other one) has been offered $1,000+ for hers. I wouldn't sell mine at any price. As soon as I can get my sewing/bedroom straightened out, I will photo this quilt and post it! It truly is a masterpiece.
