                                                            DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY by Linda V. Taylor & Cheri Meineke-Johnson
                                                            As the New England Quilt Museum celebrates its Silver Anniversary in 2012, we look back in wonder, fascination and -- sometimes -- amusement on all the changes in quiltmaking over the past 25 years.
                                                            From color to design to technique to the tools quilters use, the past quarter-century has seen more changes than the world of fashion or Detroit's automotive output.

                                                            Whether you're an avid quilter yourself or just a lover of this wonderful art form, you'll be fascinated to see how far we've come in 25 years. We'll also be thinking about where the world of quilting is going in future. 

                                                            Be sure to attend the Lowell Quilt Festival as well (August 9-11, 2012), where very special guests Marianne Fons and Mary Fons will share their own unique perspective on quilting's past and future.
