Hand-Stitched Quilts

Lovingly Crafted in the West Virginia Hills

By Tena Hertzog

My friend Tena Hertzog lives deep in the West Virginia Appalachians. Her beautiful quilts show a loving hand-stitched quality that belies their humble origins. They are treasures! I mentioned our web site to her and offered to upload images of her quilts to give others an opportunity to appreciate (and purchase!) them. All of her quilts are made from cotton and cotton-poly blend fabrics.
