    Hi y'all. I'm Joanna, a non-quilter who loves quilts. My grandmother, who quilted, started my family in the tradition of collecting (as well as using) quilts. When my mother passed away, I inherited a collection of more than 70 hand quilted textile masterpieces. Most of these are king size quilts. This doesn't count the wall hangings. The most unusual portion of my collection is a group of quilts on the theme of Christmas. I'm semi-retired now and travel giving talks about quilts. My website is www.havequiltswilltravel.com.
    I hope to hear from some of you with feedback. Thanks.

    Welcome from North Carolina. Such a blessing to have so many quilts and to know their history. Every quilt could tell a story, if only they could talk. Great that you can do that for them. Please show them to us.
