What began as a small group of friends grew into a 22-member group connected by a mutual passion for antique quilts of the 19th century. Inspiration for the exchanges comes from the quilts the women made years ago to comfort their families and beautify their homes.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Karen Hodges \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Karen Hodges \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"25 Years of Scrap\" Exhibit (Sponsored by Brother) at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karen Hodges","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046382293267,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/28633-western-sun-karen-hodges-70-1736886901_38ebe39d-23cd-4800-8ae8-fe55d34d3d54.jpg?v=1776144134","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/western-sun-karen-hodges","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
