Art Wall at The Patty Turner Center

Wayne has lived in Deerfield since 1979 and has been quilting for over 17 years.

During that period he has made over 100 quilts (and numerous other quilted bags). The largest quilts have been queen-sized, and the smallest was for his daughter’s dollhouse (about 3” x 5”).

One of the queen-sized quilts is made up of 4,845 pieces!  Another quilt was made from 50 different fabrics.
