Vintage Made Modern Quilts

Brenda Groelz, Director of Marketing at Handi Quilter, has been collecting quilt tops since she was a young quilting farm wife in Nebraska in the 1980s . Her introduction to online auctions fed her obsession with rescuing quilt tops with the idea that one day, she'd "practice-quilt" them on her longarm machine . That never happened! Members of the HQ National Educators team tackled them instead . Using their own visions, these educators gave these classic quilts a new look with jaw-dropping modern quilting schemes .
