Oh Wow!: The Miniature Quilts & Their Makers

by William L. Schroeder

Showcasing imaginative design, exquisite execution, and superb visual impact, the Oh, WOW! Collection is in keeping with the mission of the Museum of the American Quilter's Society (MAQS) to honor today's quilters. These miniature quilts contain all the detail and complexity of full-sized quilts, yet are done to scale in a 24 inch x 24 inch or smaller format. This aptly named collection, titled with the comment it most frequently elicits, was sponsored by Benartex, Inc., and curated by Klaudeen Hansen. It features quilts by many of today's best-known and most frequently honored quiltmakers including Bonnie K. Browning, Caryl Bryer Fallert, Judith Day, Diane Gaudynski, Pat Holly, Shirley Kelly, Suzanne Marshall, Anita Shackelford, Debra Wagner, and many, many more. Bill and Meredith Schroeder are the founders of the Museum of the American Quilter's Society in Paducah, Kentucky, and Meredith serves on its board. The entire proceeds from the sale of this book are being donated to the museum s acquisitions fund.
