Grandma Kelley Quilts

These five quilts were made to celebrate my grandchildren’s births. Each quilt was an adventure in learning about an artistic tradition.



  • The Lion and the Lamb – Designed in the tradition of Edward Hicks, the noted Quaker painter of the late 1700s. The lion and the lamb lie down together in a Nebraska setting. A poem by Blake surrounds the picture. For our second grandson.
