Claire Vlasin's Commemorative Quilts

Birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, and reunions were all good reasons to make a quilt.

Claire Vlasin Legacy Project

East Lansing; Michigan; United States

Claire Vlasin was passionate about quilts: creating, collecting, studying and judging them. She shared this passion in quilt clubs, classes, talks, competitions, and discussions with friends and family. She also collected fabrics, patterns, and hardware supporting her hobby. She respected the artistry of those who created patterns and “quilted” the quilts. This Quilt Legacy Project shows her collection of quilts, both those she made and those she purchased and preserved for posterity.
