“My quilt’s story began in 1940. A young woman with a dream graduated from Dress Design School. World War II began. Her dream was put on hold to work in an ammunitions plant. She played many roles in life. Her One constant was that of seamstress which she did with perfection. She died at age 97 when dementia/Alzheimer’s took their toll. Her design drawings and notebooks were among her treasured keepsakes. As her daughter, it is my dream to honor her memory through my quilting. Hoffman Fabrics had a dream too. Transcending 80 years, all of our dreams converged!” – Lynn Candrl
Lynn’s journey began with a picture of a log cabin quilt in a Country Living magazine. She set out on a quest to make a quilt with no pattern, no experience and no modern tools. 40+ years later she’s still learning, creating, and finding inspiration from the everyday things around her. Come and see how, with inspiration from Lynn, our options to create our own stories are unique and endless!
