About Beth Hunter

I am a historian and quilter who has lived all over Alabama. Quilting was something I really got into later in life and I find so much joy in creating a long-lasting memory for others. Currently, I am documenting quilts from all over Alabama for an upcoming book. If you know of a great story to go along with a quilt, let me know by contacting me below. I hope you enjoy this site and blog!

For speaking engagement requests please scroll down and send me a message!

Alabama Quilts

Want to see more quilts from around Alabama? Stay tuned for more information about my forthcoming book including 67 quilts (one for each county) with a special history of each.

A Blount County, AL pinwheel quilt with the names of area men overseas during WWI.
A Walker County, AL quilt made by the women in the local Methodist Church. Note this Bankhead family tree and the names stitched, including actress Tallulah.

My Projects

This is my favorite quilt, made for my son. The quilting mirrored the numbers theme.
This “lightening strikes” quilt was made for one of my nieces, in a beautiful directional print and coordinating solids. I love using solids.
