Our Story

Making Beautiful Recreations of Classic 18th and 19th Century American Quilts

Christine Brooks Corbett is a quilter, who strives to maintain the legacy of the American quilt. Each year, she offers a five piece collection, colored by hues and patterns of the past, and done by her own hand. She designs, cuts, pieces, or appliqués, her ideas into the quilt. Help comes from a long time friend, Leslie Armando, who has exceptional talent in using the long arm quilting machine. She does the beautiful final finish of freehand quilting. The quilts are signed, dated, and come with a personal label. Hand quilting is done only by request.
