“Sue’s quilt will be displayed at Oconaluftee Visitor Center near where we keep the patterns she used to create it for all to enjoy,” said the visitor center’s store manager Barry Hipps.

Kerper’s pattern includes needlepoint wildflowers in each square. The store is selling a limited supply of stitch patterns for those wanting to try their hand at quilt-making. More will arrive in time for the 2015 wildflower season.
