Item Description

This hand made, machine quilted Quilt is made for a Queen/Full size bed. The Quilt was made by Anne Gallo, Quilter, experienced teacher and one of the Founding members of the Lowell Quilt Musuem in Lowell MA. The pattern uses many different Fall colors.

Anne Gallo has been teaching precise machine quilting techniques for over 20 years. Her enthusiasm of her craft, and her extensive knowledge of quilting is evident in her hands on classes and lively
trunk shows whether she is talking about her own work or an antique quilt collection. Anne explains, "Quilting is such a part of our American heritage. Someone who has never made a quilt can still appreciate the colors, fabrics, and sentiment stitched into every piece. It's very exciting to share our passion with others.”

Anne was a founding member of the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell and has served as President of its Board of Directors. In
the early days of the museum, Anne taught classes to help the museum grow and has been active ever since continuing her support as a continued member of the Board of Directors and by working on the Antique Quilt Shows and Marketplace as part of the Lowell Quilt Festival annually. Anne has also had the pleasure of traveling around the world teaching classes.

Anne’s work has been featured in numerous quilt publications as well as Country Living, Traditional Home, House and Garden, and Country Home.
