Handmade Quilts and Wall Hangings Featured Throughout September at Sharon Arts Downtown Galleries

Peterborough, NH: Just in time for the cool winds of fall comes this sparkling collection of handmade quilts and wall hangings by Mary Ellen Angelo Pellerin of  Keene, NH, Sharon Arts’ featured craftsperson for the month of September.

Mary Ellen A. Pellerin is a self-taught quilter with thirty years experience. She is a designer and maker of scenic bed-sized quilts and attractive wall hangings sure to warm the look of any room. Great for gifts, too, as the holidays start to peek over the hill.

All of Ms. Pellerin’s quilts are made in her studio in Keene, New Hampshire and depict scenes from all over the world. Each work, from initial design and pencil sketch to final stitch, is done by her, painstakingly by hand and each is dated and signed by the artist. Ms. Pellerin’s quilts will be on view at Sharon Arts Center’s Downtown Galleries through September 30th.
