For more than thirty years now, The Museum of Florida History has partnered with Quilters Unlimited of Tallahassee to put together an amazing collection of more than 80 works of "quilted art." Come see these expertly handcrafted works, old and new in the R.A. Gray Building on South Bronough Street in downtown Tallahassee during this limited time. You won't be disappointed...this year, they'll even have an historic quilt, circa 1935-1945 in the exhibit.
A silent auction will be held in conjunction with the quilt show, and if you're lucky, you could win the "Opportunity Quilt" to take home! This exhibit is free, and open during specified times all seven days of the week. If you appreciate fine artistic craftsmanship, you really don't want to miss this show. For even more information call 850.245.6400.

Rebecca HarrellRebecca Harrell chose to make Tallahassee her home over twenty years ago after earning a degree in Advertising/Graphic Design from The University of Alabama. She started her career in graphics, but soon discovered painting was her true passion, and opened a retail shop in Betton Place to sell her art. As a professional artist, she has licensed her designs to companies for all types of products for more than 15 years. In order to work from home, while her kids were small, she started and still maintains a website dedicated to selling her work. She is an active community volunteer, and along with her husband, Tallahassee native Kye Harrell, is a busy parent of two teenage boys. Rebecca also produces and maintains an entertaining blog for local tabletop & fine gift store My Favorite Things. When she isn't painting, cooking, eating or writing about them all, you'll find her driving all across the Southeast to watch her kids compete in crew regattas for Tallahassee's team, Capital City Rowing.
