Turtle quilts have often been a part of The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor over the years due to their work and research regarding diamondback terrapin turtles.
Mom entered our turtle quilt in the Wetlands Institute quilt show back in 2005 when they had their Wings and Water Festival in the fall. You can read more about the quilt in the entry form pictured here. Note that the hand cut pieces were sewn on a 1930 era Singer treadle machine!
